Sicily was badly disfigured by the flames that devoured her school and took her firefighter father's life; then her mother died as well. But she's managed to lead a normal life and even has a fiancé—until a dreadful secret is revealed, and Sicily contemplates something pretty cutting edge: a total face transplant. Classic Mitchard; buy multiples wherever she is popular.
