Samuel Brandt woke up with his thoughts written all over his body. His brother woke up with his head missing. His sister woke up to find that her skin would crack open unless she stayed in water. All of the other children in the secluded Iowa town of Oak Knoll woke up having undergone strange transformations. Now, they are all forced to live at 407 West Marshall Street, the mysterious house outside of town. With the new name of The Boy with Words for Skin, Samuel wants nothing more than to hide from his new life. He painfully and unpredictably sheds his skin, there is a Voice in the entryway closet that is often cruel, and-perhaps worst of all for a naturally shy boy-the other children look to him as a leader. As his seven-year-old brother struggles with their new life, as terrifying growls start to come from the pitch black basement, and as his feelings for a girl begin to grow, The Boy with Words for Skin realizes that he wants to change. He wants to put others first, learn from his peers, and let himself hope that things will get better. The Boy with Words for Skin is the first book in the 407 West Marshall Street series. Each book will advance the story but be told from a different character. Book 2 will be The Girl without Eyes.

I thought you were a better person but you're just a crazy as* psycho!. LET GO OF ME!!!." I yell. "I'd watch my mouth baby girl. We don't want another incident..." he says with a smirk pointing his gun at the dead body that laid on the cold floor. My eyes water and my expression saddens . He chuckles. "Babe... If you don't give me a reason to punish then I won't. We will only have fun..." His hand slowly slides under my shirt and grips my waist hard. The bastard then starts to kiss my neck. I try to move and scream but I stop when I feel the gun pressed between us and him whispering " Shhhhhhhhhhhh..........." ----------------------------------------------------- this is my first book, please ignore the mistakes and support me a little.
