They include five reprints from 2004 anthologies marketed to young adults, and a century-old entry from Rudyard Kipling and feature ghosts, magical creatures, futuristic tech, alternate realities and, usually but not always, young folk. It's not a total wash, as several entries are drawn from paper or online magazines, the intros add spot-on recommendations for further reading (enhanced by an Honor Roll at the end), and contributions do include both a strong, heartbreaking closer narrated by a canine soldier and Delia Sherman's CATNYP, a romp set in The New York Public Library. However, the Kipling is a serious mistake, as the subtlety of its language and the quality of its storytelling make all of the stories before and after look like journeyman work. Strictly additional.
