Foreshadow: Stories to Celebrate the Magic of Reading and Writing YA by Emily X.R. Pan, Nova Ren Suma

5.0

Foreshadow brings to life so many different incredible stories by authors we are only just starting to get to know. Foreshadow, though, is so much more than just stories, it is a guide, a tool for YA readers, writers, and aspiring authors to not just see stories that work but see how they work. Along with the wonderful short stories we get close readings and writing prompts that allow the reader and writers to dive deep into what they have read. Foreshadow has beautiful short stories that are great to get lost in but also allows the reader to go beyond escapism and encourages them to create a story and a world of their own. Featuring 13 incredible, inclusive stories from a diverse group of new voices, Pan and Suma along with the huge team that brought this anthology together hit it out of the park. These are stories I will come back to again and again not only to dive back into the amazing worlds and characters but also as a way to improve my own writing and look at what it takes to make a story work. Whether you are an avid YA reader, a hobby writer, or an aspiring author Foreshadow is a book you are going to want to add to your personal library.
