This book is a collection of short stories by wonderful writers like Dean Micheal Myers, Lois Lowry, and the author of the book Lois Duncan. In each story the protaganists are trapped in their own reality, in becoming the fittest girl and doing what it takes to accomlish that to being trapped in the reality of work. There is always an authors note at the end of each short story to help the reader understand to why the short was written. This book is great because it is not one story novel....it is fool of different meanings about being trapped. ( )
