This short story collection celebrates young adult fiction from new authors and from some of Minnesota’s most beloved and award-winning authors. Contributors include William Alexander, Mary Casanova, Margi Preus, Kevin Kling and Julie Schumacher. Featuring primarily never-published stories from the Prohibition Era to present day, there are tales of family secrets, bullies and young love. A portion of the proceeds from Sky Blue Water will go to the Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute; a Twin Cities organization that offers free tutoring and writing assistance for students ages six to 18.—Breana Roy
