Including both stories inspired by ancient myths and fairytales as well as those straight from the creative minds of these young authors, the inventive writing in this collection reaches across cultures. Hear about adolesence at summer camps, a fierce white cat named Dog, summertime nostalgia, an eventful visit to a boba shop, and the truth about that fairytale kiss.
