Kelly Link has lit up adult literary publishing-and
Viking is honored to publish her first YA story collection.
Through the lens of Link's vivid imagination, nothing is
what it seems, and everything deserves a second look. From
the multiple award-winning "The Faery Handbag," in which a
teenager's grandmother carries an entire village (or is it a
man-eating dog?) in her handbag, to the near-future of "The
Surfer," whose narrator (a soccer-playing skeptic) waits
with a planeload of refugees for the aliens to arrive,
Link's stories are funny and full of unexpected insights and
skewed perspectives on the world. Her fans range from
Michael Chabon to Peter Buck of R.E.M. to Holly Black of
Spiderwick Chronicles fame. Now teens can have their
world rocked, too!
