This was a collection of short stories edited by Alice Pung, the author of Laurinda (which is sitting on my shelves but I have yet to read it... story of my life). These short stories were all written by teens inspired by Laurinda, and it was a fantastic collection. This is a brilliant platform for Australian teen writers, having their stories published in a collection like this, and there needs to be more of this out there to show teens that they can do it if they want to.
On the whole, the collection was quite strong. Some stories were better than others, and some just weren't long enough IMO - I needed more! There weren't any stories I considered bad or even that I didn't enjoy, I breezed through this quite quickly and it was fun to read. I haven't read anything quite like this before, and I'd definitely read it again or another similar anthology - 4 stars.
