Today Doodled Books is very proud to present A Face Like Glass a
magical and captivating signed first edition book with a huge cast of characters! You can easily
envisage that every book collector in the universe will want to collect this –
especially as it has been likened to Alice in Wonderland and has been published
by the famous Macmillan Childrens books!
It's one of the most original and spellbinding stories
you will ever come across. And in a way you can't even begin to try and compare
it to anything else because it stands in a league of it's own and is so unusual
and surprising that you will never guess what was going to happen from one
chapter to the next. This is one of those books that will gradually creep up on
you to the point that you won't be able to think about anything
else.
The book starts
in the underground city of Caverna where the world's most skilled craftsmen toil
in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare - wines that can remove
memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that convince you
to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are
more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow.
Expressions must be learned, and only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person
to show (or fake) joy, despair or fear - at a price. Into this dark and
distrustful world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and
a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times.
For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled
Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed .
