From the foreword by Alex Kotlowitz: "These are stories filled with humility and a kind of self-awareness that belies the age of their authors. This collection reminds us not to underestimate the insight and self-awareness of those in the throes of adolescence. These authors have so much to say, so many stories to tell. Buy this book for a teenager. These stories will make them feel less alone."
