To respect yourself, to love yourself, should not have to be a radical decision. And yet it remains as challenging for an American girl to make today as it was in 1927 on the steps of the Supreme Court. It's a decision that must be faced when you're balancing on the tightrope of neurodivergence, finding your way as a second-generation immigrant, or facing down American racism even while loving America. And it's the only decision when you've weighed society's expectations and found them wanting. In The Radical Element, 12 of the most talented writers working in young adult literature today tell the stories of girls of all colors and creeds.

Das verletzt sie mehr, als sie zugeben würde - und es macht sie so wütend! Eine Wut, die Gefahr bedeuten kann, schließlich ist es ihr Herz, das die Magie der Elemente leitet.
