The Windows Reflect Everything
by 826CHI Youth Authors
Beautifully written, these stories are also completely true. Learn about nightclubs, cheerleading, Nepal, discrimination, pregnancy, and everything else that makes up these teenagers' lives.

From the publisher: “The Windows Reflect Everything was borne out of a partnership between 826CHI, Golder College Prep, and Clemente High School. A team of dedicated volunteers worked with students as they delved into long. form journalism, a new genre for most of them. A genre that marries earnest storytelling with the objectivity of straight news, one that values the intimate anecdote as much as the hard facts. It has to be creative, but also true. Navigating their way through this borderland ,the students had to throw caution (and their five-paragraph-essay formulas) to the wind.”
