Thirteen amazing authors. One editor. And a publisher. That's all you need too get a perfect anthology.
Edited by Lamar Giles, Fresh Ink is a stunning anthology filled with inspiring stories and life lessons to tell. It was a good read. It was confusing, I do have to say, but it was technically a teen read. This book has a lot of lessons, such as be who you are, don't be afraid, and saying goodbye is one of the hardest things in the world. I can apply these lessons to my life with everyday things, like "be who you are" could tell me not to fit in and to be different if I have to (unique). And "saying goodbye" like when your friend is moving away and you may not ever see them again. These lessons were realistic because of the examples I just gave.
I recommend this book if you like anthologies and friendships. My favorite story was the script called "TAGS" about the dead guys. It was weird, yes, but sooooooo good still. This book made me think about my writing career. I am a creative writer (at LaVilla Middle School of the Arts), so I should be thinking about what I want to do later on (IN MY LIIIIIIFE). I think that this book is either a 12+ or a 13+.
