A socially anxious vampire learns he has to save his town by (gulp) working with people. As part of her teshuvah, a girl writes letters to the ex-boyfriend she still loves, revealing that her struggle with angry outbursts is related to PMDD. A boy sheds uncontrollable tears but finds that in doing so he's helping to enable another's healing. In this inspiring, unflinching, and hope-filled mixed-genre collection, sixteen diverse and notable authors draw on their own lived experiences with mental health conditions to create stunning works of fiction that will uplift and empower you, break your heart and stitch it back together stronger than before. Through powerful prose, verse, and graphics, the characters in this anthology defy stereotypes as they remind readers that living with a mental health condition doesn't mean that you're defined by it. Each story is followed by a note from its author to the reader, and comprehensive back matter includes bios for the contributors as well as a collection of relevant resources"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 14+ $b Candlewick Press. 541 $d 20231227. 700 $a Carpenter, Nora Shalaway., $e editor. 700 $a Callen, Rocky, $e editor. 700 $a Stork, Francisco X, $e author. 700 $a Quintero, Isabel, $e author. 700 $a Kastin, Jonathan,. 700 $a Drury, Anna,. 700 $a Grimes, Nikki, $e author. 700 $a Howlett, Val,. 700 $a Dow, Alechia, $e author. 700 $a Downes, Patrick, $d 1984-, $e author. 700 $a Patel, Sonia,. 700 $a Pixley, Marcella,. 700 $a Stewart, Ebony,. 700 $a Bird, James, $e author. 700 $a Bao, Karen,. 941 $a 1 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20240313010112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=00AC763EE0FF11EEA5A9AAA027ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
