Here are sixteen representative stories for the eighties, written especially for this collection by today's best-known writers for teenagers. Their impressions radiate through an emotional prism of hope and hate, love and death, despair and joy, in a diverse yet strikingly unified collection.
Exploring moral dilemmas, this anthology presents characters confronting challenging situations that test their integrity and strength. Themes of computer blackmail, peer pressure, gang violence, and personal crises such as drug use and unwanted pregnancy highlight the complexity of their choices. Each story delves into the consequences of actions and the struggle to determine what it means to "do the right thing," emphasizing that tough decisions often come with no clear solutions.
