I don’t have any plans to write a sequel â€� I kind of like that the ending leaves it up the readers to decide where the characters go from there.Ìý (Though I do have to admit I have some ideas of my own...)Ìý

My next book, Faceless, publishes on September 29. It's the story of a girl named Maisie who is injured in a terrible accident, and as a result, chooses to have a face transplant. It sounds like science fiction, but it's a real (though rare) procedure. I hope you will love Faceless as much as you loved Second Star!

Quotes by Alyssa B. Sheinmel  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“You have to learn to love yourself before you can love someone else. Because it's only when we love ourselves that we feel worthy of someone else's love.”
Alyssa B. Sheinmel, Faceless

“Maybe the witch thought she was protecting Rapunzel, not punishing her. Maybe she thought that if Rapunzel was locked away, no one could ever hurt her. Maybe the witch kept Rapunzel because she loved her, because she was scared that if other people could get to Rapunzel, they would hurt her. And maybe Rapunzel didn't understand the witch; maybe she was angry at her - but maybe she loved her too.”
Alyssa B. Sheinmel, The Beautiful Between

“Oh my god. I can’t believe I slapped him.

And I can’t help thinking Wow, I did it with my left hand, Marnie would be so proud.”
Alyssa B. Sheinmel, Faceless

“It's 7:42 on a Tuesday when the phone rings. I only notice the time because I'm watching Wheel of Fortune, which is so boring that I think I might be better entertained if I turned off the TV and stared at the blank screen.”
Alyssa B. Sheinmel, The Lucky Kind

“But then there she is, on her own, chewing gum, pulling her hair back with one hand and getting her MetroCard out with the other. Girls can do so much at once.”
Alyssa B. Sheinmel, The Lucky Kind
