| Publisher Description: "Will leave readers thinking about the ways that humor can be a survival tool in a world that tends to put people in boxes." -- Publishers Weekly Listen in as ten YA authors--some familiar, some new--use their own brands of humor to share stories about growing up between cultures. Edited by acclaimed author and speaker Mitali Perkins, this collection of fiction and nonfiction uses a mix of styles as diverse as their authors, from laugh-out-loud funny to wry, ironic, or poignant, in prose, poetry, and comic form. With stories by: Cherry Cheva Varian Johnson G. Neri Naomi Shihab Nye Mitali Perkins Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich Debbie Rigaud Francisco X. Stork Gene Luen Yang David Yoo |
