YA
Illustrated by
Mike Dringenberg.
Innovative narrative construction, explorations of the fuzzy border between fantasy and reality, and an excellent balance of well- and lesser-known authors characterize this latest Firebirds anthology. With all original tales and not a weak entry in the bunch, here is a worthy addition to the rich canon of speculative fiction.

YA
This anthology of new fantasy published specifically for the YA market is a strong collection. Several of the sixteen richly varied stories use traditional material as a springboard; others are entirely original. There are a few anomalies: Lloyd Alexander's tragicomic story is more social commentary than fantasy, and Elizabeth E. Wein's "Chasing the Wind"--one of the best stories in the collection--is entirely realistic.
