All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens Throughout the Ages
Description
Take a journey through time and genres to discover stories where queer teens live, love, and shape the world around them.Seventeen young adult authors across the queer spectrum have come together to create a collection of beautifully written diverse historical fiction for teens.
From a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood set in war-torn 1870s Mexico featuring a transgender soldier...to two girls falling in love while mourning the death of Kurt Cobain...to forbidden love in a sixteenth-century Spanish convent...and an asexual girl discovering her identity amid the 1970s roller-disco scene, All Out tells a diverse range of stories across cultures, time periods, and identities, shedding light on an area of history often ignored or forgotten.
"Readers searching for positive, nuanced, and authentic queer representation--or just a darn good selection of stories--need look no further than this superb collection."

About the Author
Kate Scelsa studied writing and theater at Sarah Lawrence College. She has performed in New York and on tour around the world with the experimental-theater company Elevator Repair Service in their trilogy of works based on great American literature: The Sound and the Fury, The Sun Also Rises, and Gatz, an eight-hour-long performance that uses the entire text of The Great Gatsby. Scelsa's own writing for theater has been shown at Dixon Place, Galapagos, BAX, and the SoHo Playhouse.
Saundra Mitchell has been a phone psychic, a car salesperson, and a denture deliverer. She's dodged trains, endured basic training, and hitchhiked from Montana to California. The author of fifteen books for tweens and teens, Saundra always picks truth; dares are too easy. She lives in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana.
