The Best Teen Writing of 2010 is a collection of stories, essays, and poems written by teen authors who won medals in The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The pieces in this book were selected not merely because they are excellent works of writing, but also because they are brave, risky, and honest. They are united by a need to discover fundamental truths and mold them -- through hard work and inspiration, sacrifice and empathy -- into words. -- Cover.
