These 15 short stories by a writer the New York Times Book Review has called âone of the grand masters of young adult fictionâ capture our fears, yearnings, loneliness, self-doubts, and universal need for love and acceptance M. E. Kerrâs pioneering young adult literature has gained a devoted following for fearlessly breaking rules and confronting conformity. In Edge, her trademark gifts of pulling apart relationships, exposing real emotion, and conveying what it means to grow up are on full display. From handling a teenage girlâs coming out in âWe Might as Well All Be Strangersâ to asking philosophical questions about God, life, and death in âThe Sweet Perfume of Goodbyeâ to parodying social norms in âDo You Want My Opinion?,â this is a funny, moving, and brave anthology about faith, friendship, family ties, prom night, an unusual act of heroism, and staying true to yourself.
