Teens disappointed by the lack of nuanced depictions of disability in YA fiction will cheer for these compassionate, engaging, and masterfully written stories. --<i>Booklist, </i><b>starred review </b> <p/>For intersectional representations of disabled kids leading complex lives--sometimes painful, sometimes funny, never sentimentally inspirational--a vital collection. --<i>Kirkus Reviews, </i><b>starred review </b> <p/>Fans of every genre will find someone to root for in this collection focused on disabled heroes and heroines. --<i>Seventeen Magazine </i> <p/>There is something for everyone in this volume. VERDICT A great choice for all YA collections. --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/><i>Unbroken </i>is a much needed short story collection featuring disabled teens as heroes of their own stories. The anthology successfully subverts stereotypes and long-held literary tropes about characters with disabilities. This strong assortment of stories will attract a large teen audience and should be in collections serving young adult readers. --<i>VOYA</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marieke Nijkamp</b> is the #1<i> New York Times</i><i>-</i>bestselling author of <i>This Is Where It Ends. </i>She is a storyteller, dreamer, globe-trotter, and geek.<i> </i>She currently resides in her home country, the Netherlands.
