I really loved the concept YA anthology. I liked how all these stories were set in the same town and many characters were seen several times in many different stories. I really enjoyed how diverse these stories are with so many different topics and so many different stories were featured. As reading a series of short stories goes, you always have you top ones. I liked this town so much and loved how it became a character itself. I thought this was solid story collection. This Anthlogy def made me hungry :0 I def found some new authors to check out!… (más)

This was the first anthology we've tried for family story time, so I wasn't sure how it would go over. I think everyone enjoyed most stories, and there weren't any that at least one person didn't like. This is a collection of retellings of Asian myths and legends. It was extra fun when one of the kids recognized what the story was based off of before the explanation at the end (both kids attend/attended a Chinese immersion school), but most of these stories were new to us. The diversity of where these stories were from and the ways they were adapted was really interesting.

Highly recommended!… (más)
