(3) YA The students in a tenth-grade creative writing class reveal their lives beyond their Los Angeles classroom. Issues they deal with include immigration, racism, sexual assault, illness and injury, poverty, and insecurity. The short chapters, told in alternating narration, are effective in providing a slice-of-life peek at each teen's reality and their interactions with classmates and others.
