Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Brooks's characters give the impression of having... lives that overflow the stories' boundaries," said PW in a starred review of this "moving and memorable" collection. Ages 12-up.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up-Brooks's latest anthology is peopled with "today's youth." They have grown up in dysfunctional homes and are struggling to find themselves, awash in a sea of misery created by the adults who are supposed to nurture and protect them. Each story creates a single emotional impression, which is hiding like a pearl at its center, and is revealed in the last few lines. There is little plot action, but a lot of detail and feeling as the tangled skeins of relationships are delicately traced. The settings range from the present day to the early 1960's, yet the teens' troubles remain constant. Many of the stories are heartbreaking, yet YAs are likely find their friends and classmates in these pages. Another masterpiece from an award-winning Canadian author.
