Featuring top Young Adult authors and introducing a host of exciting new voices, this anthology of stories and poetry from BAME writers on the theme of change is a long-overdue addition to the YA scene.
Contributors include Tanya Byrne, Inua Ellams, Catherine Johnson, Patrice Lawrence, Ayisha Malik, Irfan Master, Musa Okwonga and Nikesh Shukla.
Plus introducing four fresh new voices in YA fiction: Mary Bello, Aisha Bushby, Yasmin Rahman and Phoebe Roy.
"This anthology, commissioned in response to the lack of diverse voices in UK publishing, is much-needed and long overdue."
The Bookseller
"One day I want to take the representation of BAME voices in YA for granted. I want every young person to find their reflection in a book and discover themselves through fiction. Bold and inspiring, this book leads the way."
Words Beneath The Wings (Scorpioreads)
"I love this wonderful collection by some of the UK's most brilliant writers for young people, published at a time when many of our teenagers need it most. Eclectic in genre, emotion and style, but united by theme and brilliance, 'Change' is one of the best anthologies of short stories for young adults out there. I adored Tanya Byrne's gorgeous story about second love and the new writers' contributions are all absolutely cracking, signalling some very exciting emerging talents."
Wilde on my Side
"This anthology is a veritable treasure trove of talent, featuring both present and future YA stars. With stories that are by turns heart-warming, thought-provoking and unsettling, A Change Is Gonna Come has something for everyone. I highly recommend this book."
"The stories and poetry in A Change is Gonna Come hit home, whether they're set in today's world or in alternate universes. At the core of them all is a need to understand who we are today, and how we all fit in, even as we keep changing. A Change is Gonna Come is an essential collection for young people, and all readers, who feel other to realise that they are not alone."
