All it takes to rewrite the rules is a little fresh ink in this
remarkable YA collection from thirteen of the most recognizable diverse
authors writing today including Nicola Yoon, Jason Reynolds, Melissa de
la Cruz, and many more, and published in partnership with We Need
Diverse Books.
This awesome anthology came together with the fantastic organization We
Need Diverse Books, and...combines an all-star cast of talent. --Paste

Careful--you are holding fresh ink. And not hot-off-the-press,
still-drying-in-your-hands ink. Instead, you are holding twelve stories
with endings that are still being written--whose next chapters are up to
you.
Because these stories are meant to be read. And shared.
Thirteen of the most accomplished YA authors deliver a label-defying
anthology that includes ten short stories, a graphic novel, and a
one-act play from Walter Dean Myers never before in-print. This
collection addresses topics like gentrification, acceptance, untimely
death, coming out, and poverty and ranges in genre from contemporary
realistic fiction to adventure and romance. It will inspire you to break
conventions, bend the rules, and color outside the lines. All you need
is fresh ink.
