While on a run one day, Maise gets into a terrible accident. A hot-burning electrical fire consumes her, destroying her face. Where her nose, cheeks, and chin used to be, now there is . . . nothing.

She is lucky enough to qualify for a face transplant. But with someone else's features staring back at her in the mirror, Maise looks -- and feels -- like a stranger. The doctors promised that the transplant was her chance to live a normal life again, but nothing feels normal anymore. Before, she knew who she was -- a regular girl who ran track and got good grades, who loved her boyfriend and her best friend. Now, she can't even recognize herself.

From New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel comes a gripping and gorgeously written tale of identity and love. This is a story of losing yourself, and the long, hard fight to find your way back.

Faceless is a really good book that keeps you hooked from the moment you pick it up. I recommend you read it if you are okay with reading about medical treatments and details about them. Besides that I highly recommended it for everyone.

I would 10/10 recommend this book for everyone! Faceless by Alyssa Sheinmel is about a girl named, Maisie who got her face burnt off on a morning jog. It started getting a little windy and dark outside because a storm was approaching. She figured she could run really fast and make it home, but that wasn't the turn out. A lightning pole caught on fire and made different parts of Maisie catch on fire. She ends up in the hospital for a few months. Will she make it? If she makes it what will people think about her, will they judge her? Will she people to talk or hear? If you want the answers to these questions, read the amazing book, Faceless by Alyssa Sheinmel! **Disclaimer** This book is in the library, but you must have permission to get it because, it is behind Ms. Custers desk!

This is a book about how everything can go down the side of a cliff in an instant. Maisie Winters had an almost perfect life, her boyfriend Chirag had just asked her to prom, she was best on the track team, and she had friends who would do anything for her. Then, one morning on her run it started to rain. A bolt of lightning started an electrical fire, and Maisie woke up from her coma in a hospital a month later. She was horrified to discover that her face had been burnt off, and she would have to get a face transplant.
