Going far beyond the standard anthology entry, For the Record contains college admissions essays, cover letters, and even a handful of crosswords. Sure to delight all ages, this collection features an op-ed on restorative justice in public schools, writing on sloths, and a spooky story set inside an elevator.

From the publisher: “Our eleventh anthology was inspired by student activists and journalists around the world. For the Record is a testament to the next generation of writers, thinker, and leaders. In these pages, students confront complicated issues like immigration, civic rights, hate speech, and more. In addition to op-ed pieces and essays, this book also contains blackout poetry, short fiction about the end of the world, crossword puzzles that turn into poems, and more!”
