Big City Cool: Short Stories About Urban Youth

Search in York County Library System

Fourteen short stories about what it's like to grow up in the city—the glamour, the mean streets, and the neighborhood. In these fourteen authentic short stories, young people growing up in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, New York, and elsewhere contend with city realities. Among the authors are Judith Ortiz Cofer, Eugenia Collier, Ann Hood, Cherylene Lee, Paul Many, Walter Dean Myers, Michael Rosovsky, Neal Shusterman, Amy Tan, Elennora Tate, and Kurt Vonnegut.
