Take a deep look into the minds of these young authors. Centered around oral histories, poetry, and letters to moms and dad, this collection highlights the many neighborhoods of LA, stories of immigration, baseball, realizations, and goodbyes.

From the publisher: “From the English classroom to the publishing house, the precious cargo you will find inside these pages was born of a long time partnership between the students and educators of the Academic Leadership Community and 826LA. The stories have been crafted, workshopped, and edited with great care, providing fresh, relevant, and thought-provoking insights into our world today and the future worlds we hope to see.”
