For Martin Turner, life couldn't be better: he looks great, is popular everywhere, and has friends and a partner who stand by him. However, this life is shattered by a devastating car accident: Martin suffers severe burns, and his face is permanently disfigured. Will he be able to accept that suddenly almost nothing is as it was? In "Face," Benjamin Zephaniah shows how fleeting happiness can be, but also that a stroke of fate can offer the chance to reflect on one's own values and strengths.
