A Face First

(3) 4-6 A car accident leaves sixth-grader Kelley with severe burns on her face and hands. The physical pain, however, seems insignificant compared to the trauma she feels when she finally sees her ravaged face in a mirror. Cummings believably and sympathetically limns Kelley's rage and withdrawal from the world and her ultimate reemergence with inner reserves of strength and a newly discovered talent for drawing.
