Everything That Came Along with You
by Row New York Students
Anything goes in this inventive anthology. Think unusual birthdays, superpowers, and alternate realities. Featuring: lights in boats, Earth-X, a time machine, levitation, and a dual-meaning poem on beauty.

From the publisher: “A society adjusts to new superpowers after the sun and moon disappear. A young woman tries to stop her parents' tragic deaths. A demon wreaks havoc because he's upset about New York style pizza. These are just a few of the stories you'll find inside Everything That Came Along With You, a collection of poems and prose written by New York City teens. For five weeks, these young writers worked with volunteers from 826NYC and Row New York to write original pieces that push the boundaries of what's expected. The writing is honest and vulnerable and speaks to experiences of overcoming fear, the search for home, and the joy of family surprises. From speculative fiction to personal narrative and poetry, Everything That Came Along With You is at once heartbreaking, hilarious, and an unforgettable look into the imagination and experiences of young writers.”
