![]() The second editorial collaboration between Aronson and Smith (after 2011's Pick-Up Game) collects nine short stories by Ellen Hopkins, A.S. But on the other side of it is the rest of your life. It’s an initiation of sorts, and it can be brutal. Being a teenager is a time for all kinds of firsts - first jobs, first loves, first good-byes, firsts that break your heart and awaken your soul. Here, in nine stories, we meet people who didn’t know Kevin, friends from his childhood, his ex-girlfriend, his best friend, all dealing with the fallout of his death. Will Weaver turns a lens on Kevin’s sister as she collects his surprising effects - and makes good use of them. Rita Williams-Garcia follows one aimless teen as he finds a new life in his new job - at the mortuary. Ellen Hopkins reveals what two altar boys (and one altar girl) might get up to at the cemetery. ![]() Even now his choices are touching the people he left behind. And now, even though he’s dead, he’s not really gone. How could one teenage boy’s life elicit other kids’ first experiences - even after he dies? Nine interconnected stories from nine top YA writers. ![]()
