Gr 8-10-The 14 stories in this collection are by established young adult authors, most of them well-known Canadians (Sarah Ellis, Marthe Jocelyn, Tim Wynne-Jones). They share a common themethat life-changing event known as the "first time." First love, first crime, first dead body, first foray into adulthoodthis anthology covers those and more. The inclusion of various genres, including science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, and romance, will make the book appeal to a diverse audience. If readers are able to look past the rather youthful cover art, they will find inspiring, entertaining, and well-written stories. "First Times" could inspire students to write about happenings in their lives that were particularly memorable or life-altering."Robyn Zaneski, New York Public Library"Copyright 2007 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
