From an impressive sisterhood of YA writers comes an edge-of-your-seat
anthology of historical fiction and fantasy featuring a diverse array of
daring heroines.
Criss-cross America--on dogsleds and ships, stagecoaches and
trains--from pirate ships off the coast of the Carolinas to the peace,
love, and protests of 1960s Chicago. Join fifteen of today's most
talented writers of young adult literature on a thrill ride through
history with American girls charting their own course. They are monsters
and mediums, bodyguards and barkeeps, screenwriters and schoolteachers,
heiresses and hobos. They're making their own way in often-hostile
lands, using every weapon in their arsenals, facing down murderers and
marriage proposals. And they all have a story to tell.
