The Boy Who Lost His Face

by Louis Sachar

Cursed! David was only trying to be cool when he helped some other boys steal an old lady's cane. But when the plan backfires, he is the one whom she 'curses'. Now David can't seem to do anything right. The cool kids taunt him and his only friends are weirdos. He even walks into Spanish class with his fly unzipped! And when he finally gets his nerve up to ask out a cute girl, his trousers fall down midway! But is this the curse at work or is David turning into a total loser? This is another witty and very clever tale by the master storyteller Louis Sachar. Other titles in this series are "There's a Boy In The Girl's Bathroom"and "Dogs Don't Tell Jokes".

Reviews

A well written story with the lessons learned of actions ad consequences, conscience, and righting our wrongs. It also portrays the usual peer pressure that school age children struggle through and "finding our face" sorta-speak.
There was a fair share of cursing in this book however, and due to some of it's content I would suggest this read for middle school aged children and above.
