When thirteen-year-old Samantha moves to a new town, she decides to reinvent herself. She wants to be called SJ now. She's going to be cool and mysterious. But above all, she's going to pretend to be healthy. SJ suffers from chronic eczema and allergies - she's sick of doctors' appointments and tests, sick of itchiness and pain, sick of looking different, feeling different. All SJ wants is to be 'normal'. She'll do whatever it takes…

Sensitive is about a girl with a rare skin condition who wants to start fresh at a new school. She hopes to hide her illness and just fit in. But as challenges come up, she learns that being honest about who she is might be the bravest thing of all.
I enjoyed how Sensitive shows the courage it takes to be yourself. It’s honest, emotional, and
hopeful.
If you liked books like Wonder or Fish in a Tree, you’ll love this. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy stories about fitting in, starting over and finding strength in differences.
