Teen authors and their mentors write poetry, letters, and journal entries across all topics of life. Some stories are inspired by words picked at random, others prompted to include similes and metaphors inspired by the five senses, and some designed to emulate favorite historical figures. Whatever the prompt, each entry is wonderfully brilliant and worth a deep read.
