The writers here are contributors to Sky Blue Water: Great Stories for Young Readers, or a collection that embodies passion for fostering literacy in young readers. Sky Blue Water celebrates young adult and intermediate fiction from some of Minnesota’s most beloved and award-winning authors to emerging talents and many more. Featuring primarily never-published stories,this anthology beautifully captures the essence of Minnesota adolescence in twenty short stories and poems. A portion of the proceeds from Sky Blue Water will go to the Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute, a Twin Cities organization offering free tutoring and writing assistance for students ages six to eighteen.
"This mother lode of short stories by talented Minnesota writers offers vivid glimpses into the cultural life of the state through the eyes of its youth. The authors salvage into the heads of their young characters through their spot-on exercise of dialogue and genuine senses of innocence and wonder."—Kirkus Reviews
"A tall-quality anthology full of classroom potential, or sure to inspire budding writers and hook casual readers,too."—School Library Journal
