A well thought-out mix of poetry, essays, interviews, fiction, and lists. Flip through these pages, and there's not a lot you won't encounter! Featuring: grandmotherly celebrations, conquering fears, ghosts, mix-ups, journeys into black holes, drought, gentrification, and pizza with grapes.

From the publisher: “You're holding the 826 Quarterly, volume twenty-two. But you probably knew that already. What a number, right? This twenty-two contains a bag of magic, a stack of self-esteem pancakes, a winged and feathered dinosaur, and a whole new friendlier world in the form of stories, essays, poems, and journalism by writers ages 6 to 18. Leave it to them to make number twenty-two the wackiest and wisest it's ever been.”
