The result of a cross-Canada contest for the best short stories about young people’s experience of loss and grief, Dark Times is a superb anthology about a topic that often remains hidden but is crucial in the development of a child’s sense of identity.
Thirteen moving stories about young people who have suffered loss. This collection deals with grief, but also the courage of contemporary teens navigating through dark times.
