Publisher's Synopsis
**LARGE PRINT EDITION** A quirky teen in search of the only family she's ever known. An adventurer who's discovered a great treasure-and a great secret. A vengeful spirit with a bone to pick-and a story to tell. A grieving boy struggling with the void of a lost loved one. A loyal son finding comfort-and understanding-in the most unlikely of places. A dutiful woman, rescued by a perfect stranger. A band of best friends, united by the thrill of the hunt. A weeping mother, trying to reconcile what she's lost with what remains. These are the characters who inhabit the pages of OUT OF THE BLUE-the debut anthology from the Unicoi County High School Creative Writing Club. Along with two essays that will take you on a journey through the darker side of our obsession with beauty, and through the harrowing halls of the concentration camp Auschwitz, these stories are sure to stir your emotions and lend some insight into the topics and themes our young people care about most.
