Summary

It does not necessarily take a fist to create a punch in the gut. This fourteen-story YA fiction anthology delves into the experience of being bullied--socially, emotionally, physically, psychologically, and sexually. The school hallways, walks home, and house walls are no longer the boundaries for intimidation and harassment. With the rapid-fire response time of social media and smartphones, bullying has lost all limits, and the lines among truth, lies, and real accountability have become blurred. Featuring some of the hottest voices in YA literature, both bestselling and on the rise, Corneredincludes works from Kirsten Miller ( New York Timesbestseller The Eternal Ones), Jennifer Brown ( Hate List), Elizabeth Miles ( Fury), Jaime Adoff ( The Death of Jayson Porter), Lish McBride (Morris Award finalist Hold Me Closer, Necromancer), Matthue Roth ( Losers), Sheba Karim ( Skunk Girl), Kate Ellison ( Butterfly Clues), Zeta Elliot ( A Wish After Midnight), Josh Berk ( The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin), and James Lecesne ( Absolute Brightnessand founder of the Trevor Project).
