What critics say: . “Sixty eight young writers from 18 states are represented, and their short stories and poems are variously passionate, funny, nostalgic, wise, clever, and above all, inspiring to other young writers. . . . Kudos to Hanging Loose Press for bringing these writings to a wide audience.” –Kliatt “Each of the authors has a distinct, original voice and brings freshness and vitality to the subject matter. Make sure this volume gets into the hands of creative writing teachers and all those students who like to write for their own pleasure. If one way to become a better writer is to read lots of good writing, then readers should be tremendously encouraged and helped by this collection.” –School Library Journal
