If you're a girl, you should strive to look like the model on the
cover of a magazine. If you're a boy, you should play sports "and"
be good at them. If you're smart, you should immediately go to
college after high school, and get a job that makes you rich. Above
all, be normal.Right?"Wrong," say 35 leading middle grade and young
adult authors. Growing up is challenging enough; it doesn't have to
be complicated by convoluted, outdated, or even cruel rules, both
spoken and unspoken. Parents, peers, teachers, the media, and the
rest of society sometimes have impossible expectations of
teenagers. These restrictions can limit creativity, break spirits,
and demand that teens sacrifice personality for popularity.In these
personal, funny, moving, and poignant essays, Kathryn Erskine
("Mockingbird"), Matthew Quick ("The Silver Linings Playbook"),
Gary D. Schmidt ("The Wednesday Wars"), Sara Zarr ("Story of a
Girl"), and many others share anecdotes and lessons learned from
their own lives in order to show you that some rules just beg to be
broken.
