⭐️STAFF PICK⭐️ “There will be a day when these letters stop being relevant, but until then they are essential. Completely uncynical but never naive, a little spark in our perpetually dark times.” -Jai

New Hunger Games AND new John Green?! Whewww! What a Tuesday!

⭐️STAFF PICK⭐️ “This magical short story follows a young woman who is unlike her peers and her family. Disinterested in the paths offered to her by society, she wanders off into the woods searching for something else. Between the hints at magic and talking animals, this story was a delight!” -Sam
