But when a freckle on her cheek turns out to be a rare form of melanoma that requires surgery to have it removed Lexie is left with a large scar across her cheek. Overnight her world changes; she no longer recognises herself. Her confidence has vanished, her friendships are changing and the very thing she has always loved- public speaking- now strikes terror into her heart. But when a chance encounter turns into an unexpected friendship, Lexie's feelings about her scar, and herself, are challenged. A relatable and easy read for teenagers and young adults about overcoming obstacles, navigating friendships and finding out that our worth is far more than just skin deep.   Skin is a relatable and easy read for teenagers and young adults because it features a likable but flawed teenage protagonist. It explores overcoming obstacles and navigating relationships that are not always easy. It also explores the power of positive friendships- especially during the formative teen years- and the enrichment we gain from sharing our experiences with others. It encourages the reader to ask- what makes us who we are? And, particularly important in an age where social media is inescapable- is our worth far more than just skin deep?","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47678496506010,"sku":"9781761112454","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781761112454-us-300.jpg?v=1774573222","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781761112454-skin","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
