  From a New York Times–bestselling author, an emotionally gripping novel about a girl who gets a face transplant and must rediscover her identity. 
   
  When Maisie Winters wakes up, she’s in the hospital. 
   
  The last thing she remembers is going for a run on a misty morning. Slowly, she figures out that after lightning hit a power line, a hot-burning electrical fire consumed her, destroying her face. Where her nose, cheeks, and chin used to be, now there is . . . nothing. 
   
  Maisie is lucky enough to qualify for a rare medical treatment: a face transplant. But with someone else’s features staring back at her in the mirror, Maisie looks—and feels—like a stranger. 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 the New York Times–bestselling author of A Danger to Herself and Others 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.

  “[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 [Maisie’s] 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.” —VOYA 
   
  “A fascinating human portrait of a unique medical procedure, this work paints a complex picture of a young life impacted by a mammoth change.” —School Library Journal 
   
  “Sheinmel’s prose is accessible to a wide range of readers who, for whatever reason, find themselves struggling with differences. A touching reminder that real change is rarely skin deep.” —Booklist

  A New Orleans haunted house, a killer ghost, and a long-lost comic book come to life in this blend of mystery and comics by the author of I Am Princess X. Denise Farber has just moved back to New Orleans with her mom and stepdad. They left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and have finally returned, wagering the last of their family’s money on fixing up an old, rundown house and converting it to a bed and breakfast.  Nothing seems to work around the place, which doesn’t seem to weird to Denise. The unexplained noises are a little more out of the ordinary, but again, nothing too unusual. But when floors collapse, deadly objects rain down, and she hears creepy voices, it’s clear to Denise that something more sinister lurks hidden here.  Answers may lie in an old comic book Denise finds concealed in the abandoned attic: the lost final project of a famous artist who disappeared in the 1950s. Denise isn’t budging from her new home, so she must unravel the mystery—on the pages and off them—if she and her family are to survive . . .  Open this book and dare to enter The Agony House, another spectacular mix of novel and comics form Cherie Priest. Praise for The Agony House“Priest pairs with O’Connor to neatly weave together the history of comic books and contemporary concerns about gentrification into an eerie ghost story set in a ramshackle house that’s as much a character as the people living in it . . . At its heart, though, this is a ghost story, and Priest excels at building palpable atmosphere . . . Dynamic characters and a surprising mystery round out this sharp, satisfying, and engrossingly spooky story.” —Booklist, starred review“Priest ably weaves contemporary issues and a feminist strand into this fantasy . . . A wonderfully melodramatic climax . . . Conflicts, ectoplasmic and otherwise, laid to rest in a deliciously creepy setting.” —Kirkus Reviews
