This title in other formats:Necessary Noise: Stories about Our Families as They Really Areby Michael Cart
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Once upon a time that was not so very long ago, a family was described as a man, a woman, and their offspring. That was what families were. These ten stories talk about families the way they really are. Siblings coping with their younger brother's overdose. A girl terrified of her older sister's dual personality. A boy trying to adjust to his life with two mothers. A father visiting his son on death row. These are stories of today's families — fractured, blended, at risk, non-traditional, and some that are even still nuclear. Noted anthologist Michael Cart asked celebrated young adult authors the question "What does 'family' mean today?" The ten stories in this anthology provide some illuminating — and sometimes surprising — answers. Here family is defined by the connections between all kinds of people — and the necessary noise they make.
