Through the lens of Kelly Link’s vivid imagination, nothing is what it seems, and everything in this collection of short stories 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 ‘The Wrong Grave,’ which tells the story of a sixteen year old boy who digs up the grave of his girlfriend in order to rescue the poetry he buried with her-these stories will put goosebumps on your goosebumps.
Kelly Link has a cult following in the United States and now Australian teens can have their world rocked, too. Link’s stories are funny, scary and full of unexpected insights and skewed perspectives on the world.
