Praise for New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel's Faceless Nominated for 2016 YALSA Best Fiction for Young AdultsA New York Public Library Best Book for Teens"Gorgeous and wrenching, full of gigantic questions and even more gigantic answers about love, identity and appearance. Alyssa Sheinmel's writing is so true, her characters so real, that they live on long after the last page is turned." -- New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice"[Sheinmel's] depiction of a disfigured adolescent girl, already searching for herself and now suddenly forced to accept this new enormity, is compelling... absorbing." -- Kirkus Reviews"Fascinating... Teens will identify with her struggle to accept that her old life is gone forever. The anger and grief that she feels is palpable and vividly expressed. Fans of R. J. Palacio's Wonder will also enjoy this book and relate to its similar theme about how physical appearance does not define who you really are." -- Voice of Youth Advocates
