Janie Johnson's life has been in turmoil ever since she discovered she was kidnapped as a young child. Visiting and getting acquainted with her birth family was difficult. As the story spread throughout high school, facing her curious classmates was even worse. Maybe this year will be better now that she's no longer the focus of attention and she will be a mature junior. But late one night she hears her friend Reeve hosting a call-in program on a college radio station. To her horror, he reveals her story to his fans.

August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school - until now. He’s about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you’ve ever been the new kid, then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie’s just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, despite appearances? R. J. Palacio has crafted an uplifting novel full of wonderfully realistic family interactions, lively school scenes, and spare emotional power.

Cannot get enough of Janie/Caroline/Alyssa!
What did you love best about Janie Face to Face (novel) and What Janie Saw (bonus short story)?
I have listened to the entire series so I'm really speaking to all the books that came before this as well as this very satisfying conclusion. I admit I want to know what happens next... but that's just because I'm going to miss everyone. Alyssa is a master and I could listen to anything she narrates.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved getting to know and hating Hannah. Her inner voice is cleverly done and builds some pretty palpable tension. Since I listened to the entire series, I feel like I've gotten to know all the characters as they've grown. They experience and react and learn. It's hard to say who is a favorite. All the characters are very well developed and complex. The love that seeps through all the confusion and fear everyone deals with throughout this series is beautifully delivered by author and narrator.
What does Alyssa Bresnahan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Alyssa is absolutely seamless in her narration of characters. She is consistent throughout the series for all the voices. She never outshines the words on the page but instead makes them shine brightly. There was that scene in the airport... I was literally on the edge of my seat and that is all Alyssa.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The books are too long for a single sitting but they were my companions for long stretches, sometimes seeping into what should have been sleeping or working hours.
