(2) YA Illustrated by Charlotte Noruzi. In a collection that happily lacks the written-to-order quality of so many thematic anthologies, ten original stories provide ten distinct perspectives on the quagmire that is "family," both that we are born to and that we choose for ourselves. The result is a collection with considerable range and depth. The style of the writers (including Walter Dean Myers, Lois Lowry, Joan Bauer, editor Cart) varies as much as their subjects.
