The Boy Who Lost His Face

Description

The Boy Who Lost His Face by Louis Sachar is a brilliantly funny, sharply observed, and genuinely thought-provoking children’s novel from the celebrated and widely beloved author of Holes — a warmly entertaining and quietly wise story about the universal and often agonising experience of peer pressure, popularity, and the courage it takes to do the right thing when doing the wrong thing seems so much easier and safer. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC in 2007 as a new edition, this compulsively readable 208-page paperback follows David, a boy who makes a terrible mistake in his desperate attempt to be accepted by the cool kids at school — and must then navigate the hilariously chaotic and increasingly complicated consequences of his choices in a story that is as funny and entertaining as it is genuinely insightful about the pressures, friendships, and moral dilemmas that define the middle school experience.
