I thought this book was absolutely wonderful. It's very, very well written and it makes you feel as if you are a part of the story. It explains the hard times Kelley goes through and how she handles them. Bravo!

This book is probably one of the best books I've ever read. This girl has faced a dramatic acciden in wich she was burned in. She is so frightened to show her face to people because of what the burns look like. This book shows all of the opsticles she has over come. I think that this book is both dramatic and inspiring. I would recomend this to everyone

This book is about a young girl named Kelley. After a terrible accident Kelley has to go through painful treatments. She also has to wear a mask to help her face. She worries what everyone will think of her but realizes they like Kelley for the person on the inside. This book was good and sort of sad at first. But towards the end when Kelley truly discovers herself, it makes you feel really good.

If I had to describe this book in two words, I would say it was Dramatic yet Realistic.You,the reader,actually start to feel sorry for this fictional character. Somehow, they slowly grasp a place in your heart, like a real person in that situation would do. Pricilla Cummings reached out to all teens who have ever had a problem with who they are, whay they look like, and made them realize being your self isn't so bad after all. I would recommend this book to all teens (yes, even the guys.) Although A FACE FIRST isn't the longest or most challanging book I've ever read it makes for a great "quickie." This book is definately one I could read over, and over.

A Face First is a book of overcoming triumph no one would understand. Kelley, a 12 year old girl, who went through the horrible experience of a car accident, and getting burned dealt with alot. She was afraid she would never look the same. She had to wear a mask to keep the burns from swelling up. She thaught when people looked at her they would see a face first, but from other people who have gone through the same thing, she learns theres more to life than looks. She learns to overcome her fear and realizes not everyone sees a face first. Not everyone is perfect with thier imperfections. I loved this book because it showed no one's perfect and we can overcome anything. I liked how Kelley learned even though she will never look the same shes the same girl smiling behind the mask and inside.

She thinks "Is it a dream,or did this really happen?Can I still go to school? Will her friends still like her? If you read this book,you will discover how much courage it can take to face the truth and go on with your life.

I absolutely love this book! It's so realistic and true, and it puts you right in the story. It is all about a 6th grade girl named Kelley Breann who gets in a horrible car accident, and gets scars a burns all over her face. She has to wear a mask and stockings so the scars won't be as obvious, but hates looking the way she is. Finally she learns that her friends still love her as she is and she is still the same Kelley Breann inside. I love this book and couldn't put it down. I hope all of you consider reading it!

This is a very interesting book and very well written. A 12-year old child named Kelley is in a car crash. She finds a wonderful talent of hers. Deep down inside she learns to not be afraid of people making fun of her. It feels like Kelley is your friend telling you her secret thoughts. This is one of my favorite books and is hard to put down. I truly recommend it!

A Face First is the book that I read. This book is about a girl named Kelley who gets into a horrible car accident and gets most of her body extremely burned. Now Kelley has to cope with herself while her skin and bones heal that nobody's perfect. I think that this book is a great book because you can learn from Kelley's expierence that no one will ever be perect. If you like books that teach you an important lesson, I would recommend reading A Face First.

About the book A Face First by Priscilla Cummings.
This book is about a twelve-year-old girl named Kelly. She was in a car accident with her mother. She was burned especially her face, and broke her leg. She went to the hospital and she was in surgery, while she was in surgery she was trying to remember what happened to her. She could remember some parts but the rest was unclear. When she woke up after three days she was very weak. She had to do exercises to get her body moving again. She has to wear a mask because her face is burnt. Who understands her?
This book is good because it makes it realize how Kelly felt and had to face many challenges that normal people wouldn?t.
