Since last August I have been energized and amazed by the work produced by the incredible seventh graders represented in the pages of this anthology. Over the last few months, we have worked with abecedarians, hermit crab essays, speculative nonfiction, ekphrastic poetry, graphic comics, collaborative poems and so much more. Every step of the way I have been in awe of their creativity, breadth of ideas, and depth of thought given in response to the prompts we worked with each week. What a joy it has been to spend time with each of these young writers, to see their minds and talents on the page, and to learn from it myself.
