Bloomsbury presents Face by Benjamin Zephaniah, read by Ben Bailey Smith.
& apos; A brilliant first novel& apos; Guardian
In the moving and compelling debut novel from Benjamin Zephaniah, a young man& apos; s life is completely changed when his face is badly scarred in a car accident.
Martin seems to have it all. He& apos; s cool, funny, and he& apos; s the undisputed leader of the Gang of Three, who roam their East London estate during the holidays looking for fun. But one night after the Gang leave a late night rap club, Martin accepts a ride from Pete, a Raider& apos; s Posse gang member. Too late, he realises that the car is stolen, and that the police are after them.
What happens next will change Martin& apos; s life and looks, and show him the true meaning of strength, courage, discrimination and friendship.
Brilliantly written and with a real ear for dialogue, fans of Angie Thomas and Malorie Blackman will love Benjamin Zephaniah& apos; s novels for young adult readers:
