Twice Told


Readers and writers all have their choice when art is the inspiration. Twice Told is a collection of original short stories inspired by fine-artist Scott Hunt's haunting charcoal drawings. Eighteen authors, each one a standout voice in young-adult fiction, used one of nine images as a creative spur. Pieces by two different authors are paired with each piece of art, proving that every picture tells at least two stories. The result is an anthology of captivating stories with sometimes similar and sometimes vastly different themes. Each tale demonstrates the power of art to stir ideas and highlights the author's unique resources to interpret what he or she sees.
