Faceless is an emotionally gripping novel about a girl who gets a face transplant — and has to rediscover her identity.

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, coauthor of The Haunting of Sunshine Girl, 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.

      Narrator Susan-Kate Heaney portrays Maisie, a dreamy 16-year-old who fantasizes about the prom and telling her first boyfriend she loves him. But Maisie herself and Heaney's narration change quickly when Maisie awakens in a hospital, the victim of a freak accident that has burned her face. After a partial face transplant, Maisie is tormented by living with "the donor's" features as she suffers insensitive classmates and her ex-boyfriend's kindness. Heaney voices Maisie's outward self as sarcastic, bitter, and sometimes cruel. Inner monologues reveal her hurt and gradual transformation into a young woman who thinks for herself.
