This is an amazing book by an amazing group of young students who are eager to become professional writers. As one of the editors, I had the opportunity to read many of the fiction pieces, non-fiction stories, and poems ahead of time, and I continue to be astounded by the creativity, imaginations, and emotional freedom these teens display. This is the second Scrawl volume (vol. 1 came out in 2016) and these are real testaments to the hard work of the librarians and students who worked together to make this project a reality.
From horror to happy reminiscing, science fiction to soul searching, fantasy to all-too-real-life, these pieces will make you laugh, weep, and grip the book tighter as you discover that the untapped potential in these young adult minds is really limitless.
