(3) YA Incisive short stories by An Na, M. T. Anderson, K. L. Going, Beth Kephart, Chris Lynch, and Jacqueline Woodson explore transitional moments in the lives of young people on the cusp of adulthood. Without minimizing the pain of death, disillusionment, or romantic disappointment, each author offers a vision of an emerging individual who forges ahead with an even stronger sense of self and purpose.
