Title: Skin
Description: Sixteen-year-old Sep stares into the bathroom mirror on the first day of school. It's not some weird lipstick, she didn't bump her lips or chew on ice. Her lips are just--white. In a panic, she digs up an old lipstick and smears it on her colorless lips. But soon, more and more white spots begin to bloom, spreading their chalky tendrils across her olive brown skin. Does she have a disease? Is she turning into some kind of freak? As the white blotches spread, her dating days seem numbered. This novel tells the empowering story of a strong, gifted teen who, as her life spins out of control, desperately tries to prove to the world--and herself--that she is deeper than skin.
