Personal narration on some amazing topics such as surviving hurricanes, Disney World, cocoons, excitement, and bananas. Each story will surprise and entertain the reader no matter the topic. From aesthetic descriptions, to witty dialogue, each author writes their own spin on events that they know best.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “This book is a collection of personal narratives written by 10th and 11th grade students at the High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan. In their pieces, students explore the theme of place and how it shapes us. For six weeks, these young authors worked with 826NYC volunteers to craft original stories about large apartment complexes and small bedrooms, family vacations and imagined escapes, and much more. So grab your passport, hail a cab, and take a trip with us as you read some of the best stories you will ever encounter.”
