Dating! Drama! Driving!
Remember what it was like to be sixteen? Whether it was the year
your teeth were finally free of braces or the year you were
discovered by the opposite sex, that magical, mystical age is
something you will never forget. Edited by Megan McCafferty, author
of the runaway hit novels Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings,
Sixteen: Stories About That Sweet and Bitter Birthday is a
compilation of short stories inspired by all the angst, melodrama,
and wonderment of being sixteen.
Sarah Dessen's "Infinity" is about a girl confronting two major
milestones: getting her driver's license and losing her virginity.
The Dead Girls in Jacqueline Woodson's "Nebraska 99" have already
decided to "do it" and must now cope with being teenage mothers.
And Carolyn Mackler's "Mona Lisa, Jesus, Chad, and Me" explores
whether friendship can survive when partying and prayer clash. Also
included is a new Jessica Darling story by Megan McCafferty about
the last fifteen minutes Jessica spends--or rather, doesn't
spend--with her best friend, Hope, who is leaving Pineville.
Featuring stories by Steve Almond, M. T. Anderson, Julianna
Baggott, Cat Bauer, Emma Forrest, Tanuja Desai Hidier, David
Levithan, Sarah Mlynowski, Sonya Sones, Zoe Trope, Ned Vizzini, and
Joseph Weisberg, these hilarious, poignant, and touching tales are
perfect for both those who have yet to reach that milestone and
those who want to reminisce about their "sweetest" year.
