We Need Diverse Books cofounder Giles presents short fiction featuring "all sorts of heroes” by contributors including Jason Reynolds, Nicola Yoon, Sara Farizan, Malinda Lo, and Daniel José Older. There are several standouts, though some stories veer toward moralizing in exploring complex social issues. The collection is dedicated to Walter Dean Myers; a short play by him appears alongside the tales of characters whose stories are too rarely told.
