Inhaltsangabe

Twelve short stories in verse by bestselling and award-winning authors that explore the highs and lows of love – romantic, platonic, familial, and self-love.

Love can be many things – all-consuming, fleeting, vengeful, selfless, toxic, uplifting, and always, a core part of the teen experience that leaves an indelible mark. This enchanting, genre-crossing anthology delivers something for every reader with unique characters, global settings, and a dazzling mixture of myth, historical, speculative, and contemporary fiction.

With the turn of a page, get swept away by unexpected love blooming between two princes from enemy Mesoamerican nations in the 15th century, who'd rather make music rather than war; cheer for a timid bearded lady who was shunned by her family and runs away to find belonging and safety at the circus during the 1800s experience the heartbreak of saying goodbye to a beloved pet; breathlessly watch a myth unfold as a siren bound to the water falls in love with a winged forest spirit, their love seemingly impossible from the start. Root for a girl who emerges from grief and battles with chronic pain to discover how to love herself and life again. 

Love is complicated, and this anthology embraces the messiness and the joy of all kinds of love. Contributors include:

Kaleidoscope
By Alexandra Alessandri

Bursting to Be Free

A new day awakens
wide and bright and
bursting with the promise
of change.

It s the first day
of my first job,
and like a seed
that s been buried
for too long, I m
bursting to be free.

I fly out of Mami s car,
heart spread wide
and smile stretched thin

while worry wiggles
below my breastbone:
what if I m buried
once more?

Mami Worries Too

Before we left the house, Mami paced
rivers on the rug because maybe
she shouldn t have said yes.

It s too soon.

She worries about my readiness and
steadiness after all these years of
slowing down so I could heal.

You re not ready.

She worries about the taxes and tolls
a new job will claim on my body,
and whether it s worth it at all.

Maybe next year.

She worries I haven t healed from
that day, from the accident that
left me shattered and empty.

Remember your fibromyalgia.

As if I could forget. When I
can t stand Mami s pacing
any longer, I whisper,

Chill, Mom. It ll be fine.

What I Don t Say

Is I m scared to be in that place again,
a shell of a girl drowning in pain and fatigue
and a fog so dense I barely break the surface.

Because I know this job could shatter me
even more, but Catalina would ve wanted me
to bloom.

I m scared that strangers will learn my weakness
and shut me out the way my friends did ­
or worse scatter pity over my brokenness.
(Because no one knows what to do with a girl
who s been cursed by chronic illness
and grief.)
But I m even more scared
of not living
my life.

Call Me Sarai

Mami tells me
my name means
princesa
but it s also
a name of resilience
and overcoming.

I ve wished so much
for this to be true,
but all I ve been able to do
since Catalina died
is survive.

But here,
standing beneath
Farmacia Navarro s
neon-­blue signs,

I m finally
ready
to live.

Catalina

My sister would ve been nineteen this month,
growing and glowing like a luciérnaga,
on her way to college.

FSU, pre-­pharmacy, top of her class.

Instead, she s in St. Andrews Cemetery.
The same accident that crushed my body
three years ago claimed her life.

She was the same age I am now ­

excited and eager behind the wheel
(without Mami for the first time).
So
