    [synopsis] => Sticks & Stones by Abby Cooper is a feel-good middle grade debut with just a dash of magic...

Ever since she was a baby, the words people use to describe Elyse have instantly appeared on her arms and legs. At first it was just  "cute" and  "adorable," but as she's gotten older and kids have gotten  meaner,  words like "loser" and "pathetic" appear, and those words bubble up and  itch. And then there are words like "interesting," which she's not really sure how to feel about.

Now, at age twelve,  she's starting middle  school, and just when her friends who used to  accept and protect her are drifting away, she receives an anonymous  note saying "I know who you  are, and I know what you're dealing with. I  want to help." As Elyse works to solve the mystery of who is sending her these notes, she also  finds new ways to accept who she is and to  become her best self.

Fans of Wonder by R.J. Palacio will  enjoy this book for its similar writing style, compelling characters,  and upbeat tone...A quirky, clever, and lighthearted look at what it  means to accept oneself..." -School Library Journal
