"If thirteen is supposed to be an unlucky number...you would think
a civilized society could come up with a way for us to skip it."
-- from ""What's the Worst That Could Happen?"" by Bruce
Coville
No one will want to skip any of the twelve short stories and one
poem that make up this collection by some of the most celebrated
contemporary writers of teen fiction. The big bar mitzvah that goes
suddenly, wildly, hilariously out of control. A first kiss -- and a
realization about one's sexual orientation. A crush on a girl that
ends up putting the boy who likes her in the hospital. A pair of
sneakers a kid has to have. By turns funny and sad, wrenching and
poignant, the moments large and small described in these stories
capture perfectly the agony and ecstasy of being thirteen.
