How Beautiful the Ordinary: Twelve Stories of Identity

358 pp. | HarperTeen | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-115498-0 $16.99
(3) YA A talented corps of young adult and adult authors contribute to this polished, poignant collection exploring sexuality and gender identity. A mix of storytelling methods and genres makes for a balanced, appealing volume, albeit one that skews into the adult realm due to the wealth of retrospective grown-up narrators. The literary merit and emotional insight of the tales are nevertheless outstanding.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
