When School Let Out: A Collection of Young Adult Short Stories & Poems

By Robert Valletta

Book Overview

WHEN SCHOOL LET OUT is a collection of young adult short stories and poems by the author of CROSSFIRE and A FOREIGNER'S HEART. The anthology covers a wide spectrum of emotions and events that a teenager experiences, from summer romance and first dates to planning for college, to enduring a father's mistrust and disappointment, and to escaping reality with visions of suspense, mystery, science fiction and adventure. Indeed, the works included in this edition were the building blocks upon which the novels CROSSFIRE and A FOREIGNER'S HEART were later developed. It is a powerful kaleidoscope of courage and fantasy as told through the eyes of a young man who yearns to break free from his past, and who wholeheartedly believes in the possibility that he may someday live the dreams that are born of his vivid and wild imagination.
