Destination Unexpected
By Donald R. Gallo (ed.)
Ten extraordinary authors have contributed original stories about journeys of discovery.
Whether they’re leaving the country or just walking around the block, whether traveling to Europe, Cape Cod, summer camp, the racetrack, or the local diner, the characters in these stories experience things along the way that change the way they look at the world, and at themselves. As distinct as they are compelling, these ten tales of intriguing teenage journeys are spun by ten outstanding authors -- including Newbery Award winner Richard Peck, National Book Award winner Kimberly Willis Holt, and Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner Graham Salisbury.
- "Enlightening, relevant and expertly compiled . . . this anthology will leave a lasting impression." Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
