Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

My favorites were The Guide to King George, There Goes Them Ghost Children and Nancy R. Melson's State ELA Exam.

I feel like the most frequent themes are grief and loneliness but it's handled in a very everyday kind of way. The stories stand on their own and sometimes share similar elements which makes for a good blending from story to story. Only one entry is jarringly different in tone, which weirdly made it easy for me to forget.

There are some experiments in how to tell the stories which was great fun. I would for sure recommend checking it out. <3
