When eleven-year-old Jackie meets every kid's greatest nightmare--disfigured hermit Charlie No Face--his life is changed forever.

"Simon & Schuster is proud to publish this new edition of Charlie the Choo-Choo, a facsimile of the original 1942 printing"--Page 4 of cover.

The two get off to a bumpy start. At first, Jack is anxious and distrustful. But one day, he summons his courage and guides Charlie to his favorite sunlit field: this way, Charlie.

But he finds his greatest challenge of all to be the beautiful Jessie Harper. Charlie's Mark is a story of courage and sacrifice and the power of a woman's love in keeping alive a man's hope and determination.

Spunky eleven-year-old Charlie hopes to understand her rigid father by finding out everything she can about the Vietnam War, the war that let him survive but killed his dreams.
