The Anatomy of Curiosity

The Anatomy of Curiosity by Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton & Brenna Yovanoff, 286 pages

"The follow-up to the acclaimed title The Curiosities: A Collection of Stories by Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff. In an unassuming corner of Brooklyn, a young woman learns to be ladylike, to love context, and to speak her mind from a very curious sort of tutor. In a faraway land convulsed by war, a young soldier hears the desert's curious hum as he disarms bombs with the person he doesn't know how to love. In a place so shriveled by drought that any drowning is a curiosity, a young writer tries again and again to tread water beneath the surface of a vast and unusual sea. Three new stories--complete with commentary on the creative process--from three acclaimed young adult authors working at the height of their powers. Curious?"  I really liked all of these stories and the writer commentary was pretty cool too.  Stiefvater's story was my favorite but they were all good and one I would definitely recommend to teens who like fantasy or horror.
