Want to know more? Here is a teaser from the back cover:
A lawyer for the Big Bad Wolf
earnestly pleads his client's innocence in court. Mother Earth and Father Sky give
birth to a rebellious child whose fiery temper threatens to destroy the world. A
teenage boy discovers the complexities of fame after his band's first album
skyrockets to the top of the charts. Tornado warnings turn a young girl’s routine
babysitting job into a fight for survival.
These are just a few of the imaginative,
daring, and thought-provoking stories found in these pages. Also included are
dozens of poems and personal essays exploring everything from travel to
friendship, love to loss, fear to hope.
However, what makes this book truly
unique is it was written entirely by kids and teenagers.
Dancing
with the Pen features stories, poems, and essays by more than sixty young
writers in middle school and high school. These authors come from all across
the United States, from California to New York, from Kentucky to Michigan, from
all parts between and even from abroad: Singapore, Canada, New Zealand. But the
themes and situations they explore transcend hometowns, backgrounds and cultures:
they are familiar to us all.
Dancing
with the Pen is a book for young writers, young readers, and the young at
heart. Even if you are not normally a voracious reader, this book is still for you.
Every piece between these covers is written by someone who understands what
it's like to be a young person today. Maybe you'll recognize yourself in these
pages.
Perhaps you will even be inspired
to pick up a pen, step out on the dance floor, and go for a whirl yourself.
