There Is No Long Distance Now: Very Short Stories

202 pp. | Greenwillow | October, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-201965-3 $16.99
(2) YA The protagonists of each of these thirty-nine very short stories (one thousand words or fewer) are intelligent, articulate adolescents. We enter each story quickly, get a flash of insight or two, then exit, often wanting to know more about the characters' lives. The tales, persistently hopeful, will resonate most deeply with teens who, like the protagonists, crave meaningful connection with the wider world.
