These 15 short stories by a writer the New York Times Book Review has called โone of the grand masters of young adult fictionโ capture our fears, yearnings, loneliness, self-doubts, and universal need for love and acceptance
M. E. Kerrโs pioneering young adult literature has gained a devoted following for fearlessly breaking rules and confronting conformity. In Edge, her trademark gifts of pulling apart relationships, exposing real emotion, and conveying what it means to grow up are on full display. From handling a teenage girlโs coming out in โWe Might as Well All Be Strangersโ to asking philosophical questions about God, life, and death in โThe Sweet Perfume of Goodbyeโ to parodying social norms in โDo You Want My Opinion?,โ this is a funny, moving, and brave anthology about faith, friendship, family ties, prom night, an unusual act of heroism, and staying true to yourself.
