SKIN DEEP:

In Skin Deep, eighth-grader Marlie Cruz is facing the toughest year of her life. Battling severe acne, Marlie becomes the target of relentless bullying at school.

Her self-esteem takes a nosedive as classmates mock her appearance and spread hurtful videos. Even though Marlie tries to ignore the taunts, the constant harassment makes it hard to focus on anything else.

Marlie's two best friends, Hayley and Oli, are her lifeline. Together, they form an unbreakable trio that refuses to let the bullies win.

Despite their own challenges, they stand by Marlie's side, determined to make a difference and change the toxic atmosphere at their school.

Skin Deep by Sami Patron is a powerful story about friendship, resilience, and the importance of self-acceptance. With the support of Hayley and Oli, Marlie learns that true beauty lies within and that she is so much more than what is on her skin.

YOU BELONG:

Starting high school is tough, but for Emily Jarros, starting a new school in March after being bullied for being overweight is nearly impossible. Struggling with her body image and self-esteem, Emily worries that she will never fit in at her new school.

As Emily navigates the ups and downs, making new friends and enemies, she discovers that belonging isn't about blending in but finding the people who see you for who you are.

With humor, heart, and honesty, You Belong is a touching story about embracing yourself and the people who make life brighter.
