4.0

Like all short story anthologies, there are some spectacular stories in here and some that just didn't hit for me. But I do like that this is a sci-fi anthology for teens, because I feel like most of the story collections in YA are romance or fantasy themed. This is a breath of fresh air, with some really fantastic contributors.

My favorite stories in this were from Charlotte Nicole Davis (I would read a whole book about this one, honestly! I was hooked), Junauda Petrus-Nasah (so realistic and hard-hitting about race in our current society), and Wendy Xu (always love a good comic short story addition!). Honestly, even if sci-fi isn't your jam, you'll probably find something to like in this book. There's a lot of variety in the stories, which is always a good thing!
