About

Being yourself should be simple-as plain as the nose on your face In this modern retelling of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac, seventeen-year-old Cyrie is a brilliant, athletic, and funny girl with a witty retort for each of the endless big-nose jokes she endures. But despite her talents and charm, she is convinced that all anyone sees is her nose. No guy-especially not Eddie "Rox" Roxanninoff-would ever find her appealing. When Rox shows interest in Cyrie's shy friend Leyla, Cyrie soon finds herself writing Leyla's emails to him, expressing her own true feelings. But watching her crush fall for her best friend may be more than she bargained for. Will Cyrie find the courage to come clean and trust that Rox will accept her for who she is?

Reviews

"This enjoyable . . . adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac switches its genders and turns tragedy into comedy."
Kirkus Reviews
"Emily Franklin uses a familiar story to create something fresh, modern, and genuinely sweet. At Face Value reminds us that the biggest challenge of high school might not be getting comfortable with yourself, but rather getting over yourself."
Brendan Halpin, author of Donorboy and coauthor of A Really Awesome Mess
