A Monster Like Me by Wendy S. Swore




Sophie loves her book The Big Book of Monsters.  She loves it because it helps her tell who is a monster or a human.    She has discovered the main bully is a "goblin", her neighbor is a "witch", but a good one, and her new friend is a "fairy".  Sophie of course is a monster, because of her "monster mark", but she doesn't know what kind she is yet. She and her mom have just moved to a new town, Portland, to be near doctors for her.  She has a hemangioma, blood tumor, on her face.  As she navigates a new school,  her mom starting a relationship and her own insecurities about her looks, she learns who she truly is and accepts herself.
