Fire: Tales of Elemental Spirits

(2) YA As in Water, Dickinson and McKinley each contribute fantasy short stories united by an element, this time fire. The two writers' talents are well matched, creating a volume that's even in tone and quality while introducing novelty with every story opening. Dickinson's offerings are notable for their sophisticated magical thinking and subtlety of expression; McKinley's for down-to-earth truths and emotional resonance.
