(4) YA Illustrated by Kelsey Garrity-Riley. This slim volume of seven short stories includes those of a girl longing to be free of her tyrannical father and a young man creating a substitute family with his restaurant co-workers. Selections involving a talking doll and a squirrel feel a bit misplaced amid the others. Subdued prose and a rather downbeat tone characterize picture-book author Croza's foray into fiction for older kids.
