I'd never known an adult I could communicate with or trust, and I communicated with him all the time, whether I was actually talking to him or not. And I trusted him ...... Fourteen-year-old Charles desperately wants two things: a father and a way out. Little love has come his way until the summer he befriends a mysterious scarred man named Justin McLeod, nicknamed ""The Man Without a Face." Charles enlists McLeod's help as tutor for the St. Matthew's school entrance exams, his ticket away from the unpleasant restrictions of his home life. But more important than anything he could get out of a book, that summer Charles learns from McLeod a stirring life lesson about the many faces of love. `Not much affection had come Charles's way until the summer he was fourteen, when he met McLeod [a man whose face was deeply scarred] and learned that love has many facets.' `A highly moral book, powerfully and sensitively written; a book that never loses sight of the human." 1972 Best Books for Young Adults (ALA) Best of the Best Books (YA) 1970-1983 (ALA) Outstanding Children's Books of 1972 (NYT) 471193 1972 The Man Without a Face total:87|5:21|4:29|3:29|2:5|1:3| 87 321 123 9 5 1 false false Fri Oct 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 11:19:46 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 21:14:13 -0700 2008 2 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jan 27 17:23:15 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 17:27:05 -0800 2008 2 0 false true Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 08:56:40 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 22:20:33 -0700 2008
