Fresh Ink by Lamar Giles

4.0

Fresh Ink is a collection of short stories with diverse characters by popular young adult authors such as Jason Reynolds, Nicola Yoon, Sara Farizan and Sharon G. Flake. Lamar Giles composed this collection of stories because the characters are not the norm. This book contains African American, lesbian, and transgender main characters, which would be the meaning of this collection of stories. In the foreword, Lamar Giles explains his feeling towards reading, and how with every book he read, he could never find a relatable main character, which led him to compose this book. Everone can relate to at least one character from one of these stories. I think this book was done wonderfully and the stories in it were great.
