Foreshadow: Stories to Celebrate the Magic of Reading and Writing YA
by Nova Ren Suma, Emily X.R. Pan
True rating 4.5
I've never read a collection of short stories before. Not like this. But I loved most of them. I definitely think this is a book, more like a craft book better savored in a physical format. I've never before have wanted to scribble along the margins of a book before but with this one, I felt the need to take notes. It's a book full of short, concise stories that leave you begging for more and yet are complete. Each story ends with a "lesson" of sorts that explains what works and how it draws the reader in. I love this quote "Tell the blank page a story, and it will tell you who you are." And it's true. Through writing, some people learn about themselves and are able to better express their feelings. This book will appeal the both readers and writers alike but i think writers will connect to them on a deeper level.
