Neri’s piece about 1970’s skaters seeking opportunities to go vertical-anything can be collected and in the hands of these award-winning and bestselling authors, any collection can tell a story. Nine of the best young adult novelists working today have written fiction based on a prompt from Printz-winner A.S.
