Description

Word on the street is that being a guy these days can be kinda rough. Well, here are ten fictional stories, some funny, some sad, that deal with that very subject. Stories about being a guy, written by guys. From Walter Dean Myers’s story about a black kid who takes a white girl to the prom, to Mo Willems’s comedy about an invincible kid who goes to a high school for superheroes, to graphic novelist Craig Thompson’s story about the skaters vs. the wussy football players, each manages to ever-so-subtly reflect the modern-day concerns of guyhood. Gathering together some of the most exciting writers of today and tomorrow, Every Man for Himself offers teen readers a great selection of honest and real stories about everyday guys who get pummeled by some life lessons . . . and still manage to come out on top. - from Amzon
