Now an array of short stories, poetry, graphic short stories, and personal essays, along with anecdotes from the authors' real lives, dives deep into the complexity and diversity of rural America and the people who call it home. Fifteen extraordinary authors--diverse in ethnic background, sexual orientation, geographic location, and socioeconomic status--explore the challenges, beauty, and nuances of growing up in rural America. From a mountain town in New Mexico to the gorges of New York to the arctic tundra of Alaska, you'll find yourself visiting parts of this country you might not know existed--and meet characters whose lives might be surprisingly similar to your own.  \nAll Out: the No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens Throughout the Ages edited by Saundra Mitchell (YA ALL)  \nFrom a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood set in war-torn 1870s Mexico featuring a transgender soldier...to two girls falling in love while mourning the death of Kurt Cobain...to forbidden love in a sixteenth-century Spanish convent...and an asexual girl discovering her identity amid the 1970s roller-disco scene, All Out tells a diverse range of stories across cultures, time periods, and identities, shedding light on an area of history often ignored or forgotten.  \nUnbroken: 13 Stories Starring Disabled Teens edited by Marieke Nijkamp (YA UNB)  \nAn anthology of stories in various genres, each featuring disabled characters and written by disabled creators. The collection includes stories of interstellar war, a journey to Persia, a dating debacle. The teenaged characters reflect diverse colors, genders, and orientations--without obscuring the realities of their disabilities.  \nBlack Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America edited by Ibi Zoboi (YA BLA)  \nBlack is...sisters navigating their relationship at summer camp in Portland, Oregon, as written by Renée Watson.  \nBlack is...three friends walking back from the community pool talking about nothing and everything, in a story by Jason Reynolds.  \nBlack is... Nic Stone's high-class beauty dating a boy her momma would never approve of.  \nBlack is...two girls kissing in Justina Ireland's story set in Maryland.  \nBlack is urban and rural, wealthy and poor, mixed race, immigrants, and more--because there are countless ways to be Black enough.  \nMeet Cute (YA MEE)  \nA collection of short stories exploring the moment when a couple meets for the first time--from an African American girl in upstate New York who simultaneously finds a prom dress and a date to a transgender girl who confronts the student blocking her right to use the school restroom.  \nWhether or not you believe in fate, or luck, or love at first sight, every romance has to start somewhere. Now readers can indulge in their love of meet-cute moments with a YA short story collection from some of today's most popular YA authors. A diverse cast of characters and situations means that this collection has something for every reader looking for feel-good fun.  \nMy True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited and w/ a story by Stephanie Perkins (YA MY)  \nFifteen-year-old Morgan has a secret: She can't wait to escape the perfect little island where she lives.
