Summary:
If you want to know the truth... Sometimes I'm not sure who I am
anymore." Thirteen. It's an age of wonder...or dread. The best year
of your life...or maybe the worst ever. You've just become an
official teenager, even though you're not quite sure you feel like
one, but you're no longer a kid, either. Here, from fourteen
different points of view, are stories about that wonderful, terrible
time. The big bar mitzvah that goes suddenly, wildly, hilariously out
of control. A first kiss -- and a realization about one's sexual
orientation. A crush on a girl that ends up putting the boy who likes
her in the hospital. A pair of sneakers that a kid has to have, no
matter what. Written by some of today's finest writers for young
adults, these stories -- by turns funny and sad, wrenching and moving
-- truly capture the agony and ecstasy of being thirteen.
