5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection Of Tales For Teens!
This is *not* an outdated collection, though published in 1999; many readers will actually delight in recalling "how we felt" as the old century/millenium ticked away.

The caps are mine, but the mistakes are not. How embarrassing. I just couldn't keep reading. What makes matters worse is that this is a young adult book. Way to go, editors!
