Synopsis

The second edition of Teen Ink captures the essence of what it means to be a teenager through honest voices that reverberate with the emotional highs and lows of teenage years. It is a diverse collection of prose, poetry, fiction and art representing the compelling moments that define teens' lives.

Pieces for this book were chosen from a collection of more than 300,000 submissions to TeenInk magazine, a nonprofit publication read by 3.5 million teens nationwide. Since its inception, TeenInk (formerly The 21st Century) has published more than 25,000 students. These young authors produce fresh, creative, honest and always compelling words that make TeenInk the standard for teen expression.

Subsequent books in this extraordinary series will focus on individual topics, exploring the extraordinary feelings and opinions of today's teens.

About this title

Review:

In this second volume in the Teen Ink series, teenagers bare their souls to produce more than 150 stories, essays, and poems, as well as black-and-white drawings and photographs. Culled by Stephanie Meyer from hundreds of thousands of submissions to Teen Ink magazine, and narrowed down further by more than 2,500 teen reviewers, these selections tackle love, family, friends, school, fitting in, and milestones in a way no adult author can manage. While the writing is youthful--painfully so, at times--there is no doubt as to the authenticity of the emotions and insights revealed. Discover first love with a boy whose girlfriend thinks he's cuter than Brad Pitt. Suffer the bewilderment and anger of a girl who discovers racism in her friends. From dealing with family illness to making the cheerleading squad to losing a favorite pet, each short entry will remind budding adolescents that they are not alone in their fears and joys. The other titles in the series include Teen Ink: Our Voices, Our Visions and Teen Ink: Friends and Family. (Ages 13 and older) --Emilie Coulter
