This anthology of original fictional short stories and poetry is authored by six greatly talented students (grades 9-12) at Pickford High School in Michigan's upper peninsula. The genres include sci-fi, fantasy, romance, personal-based fiction, poetry, and action/adventure. All of the writers attended a series of workshops at Pickford Community Library to learn about writing from creation to publishing. Author Janet Beasley (Maycly the Trilogy Volume I from the "Hidden Earth Series") and her sister, Dar Bagby, editor and fantasy illustrator, taught the bi-weekly workshops, along with interactive sessions by author Jean E. Lane ("Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars"). Included in the anthology is a special section of letters and poetry dedicated to the victims and survivors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT in December 2012. The young writers include Amy Lehigh ("Sage" with illustrations by the author), Bailey West ("One Word"), Chelsea Ross (letter), Dar Bagby (poetry), Janet Beasley (poetry), Jessica Arman ("Terror Bond" and letter), Katie Arman ("Project Alpha" and poetry), and Taylor Green ("Damaged Goods" and letter).
