Book synopsis

Los Angeles is a rapidly-changing city, and some familiar faces -- the cart-pushing, corn-selling Elotes man, in particular -- may soon disappear. Likewise, a stand-out generation of students will soon disappear into adulthood. More than 100 young writers are represented in this collection of poetry and nonfiction, which captures and preserves the spirit of their generation and traverses three major areas of focus: memoir, family history, and community stories. Written by tenth-graders at the Los Angeles School of Global Studies in conjunction with the 826LA writing center's in-school tutoring program, the entries in this book cover a variety of topics, including urban legends, improbable (but true) romance, and Central American political intrigue, and feature writing that is heartwarming, heartbreaking, and everything in between.
