Produktbeschreibung

For avid readers, veterans of life's challenges, and observers of human nature, this is an inspirational collection of funny, family-friendly short stories that explore the theme of being insecure about yourself. Through seven brief humorous skits that exhibit gentle sarcasm in genres ranging from silent film to paranormal romance, Shakespearean drama, and fairy tale courts, teens and adults try to figure out what to do as kids grow up and relationships between grownups change.

With a lack of perfection in the journey, of course!

Through intrigue (Sarcophagus; The Destiny of Princes); comedy (In the End the Story Ended; A Matter of Life and Hair) and personal growth (Ella Substituted; Movies at the Beach; Everwood), people become wiser about themselves. Beneath three cases of mistaken identity; some long Rapunzel-type hair that has become a fire hazard; a war between mummies, vampires, and teenagers; and a royal argument over fashion--there is an underlying tone of wistfulness and an acknowledgment that growing up and growing older are both pretty tricky challenges.

If you feel you wouldn't have life any other way than its faulty self, you'll find something to enjoy in this book.

Autorenporträt

Sarah Scheele is the author of numerous books for younger readers in several subcategories within YA, from Middle Grade to New Adult. She lives on a third-generation family farm in Texas, was homeschooled long before other people had even heard of the idea, and grew up surrounded by big blue skies, winding gravel roads, and the great classics of literature. She manages the family farm/homeschooling household (think housekeeper with an independent streak and a laptop full of ideas) and that has been her first and only career. For anybody curious, she is not married and hasn't dated much. And before you start feeling all sorry for her, rest assured she doesn't feel the least bit sorry for herself. Her repertoire of young adult fiction titles is divided into four series. Writing was always a side hustle until the last couple of years when she stopped creating books for a while and began to examine how to market her existing ones and improve their presentation. 2023 saw the beginning of the publication of complete editions for her series.
