The 826 Quarterly features cutting-edge writing by students in the 826 Valencia workshops, as well as budding talents from California and beyond. Printed in a hip pocket-friendly size, this edition clues readers in to how to swim their way through global warming, figure out the number of words a picture is worth, use a sewing machine, win or lose a bet with the devil, navigate the social whirlpools of seventh grade, and more. These poems, short stories, and nonfiction pieces, comprising both traditional and experimental writing, talk not up or down but straight across to young readers.
