Nine interconnected stories from nine top YA writers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKev’s the first kid their age to die. And now, even though he’s dead, he’s not really gone. Even now his choices are touching the people he left behind. Ellen Hopkins reveals what two altar boys (and one altar girl) might get up to at the cemetery. Rita Williams-Garcia follows one aimless teen as he finds a new life in his new job — at the mortuary. Will Weaver turns a lens on Kevin’s sister as she collects his surprising effects — and makes good use of them. Here, in nine stories, we meet people who didn’t know Kevin, friends from his childhood, his ex-girlfriend, his best friend, all dealing with the fallout of his death. Being a teenager is a time for all kinds of firsts — first jobs, first loves, first good-byes, firsts that break your heart and awaken your soul. It’s an initiation of sorts, and it can be brutal. But on the other side of it is the rest of your life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith stories by \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Barton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNora Raleigh Baskin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarina Budhos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEllen Hopkins\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA.S.
