All Out
ByPublisher Description
“Imagines the lives of queer teens throughout different time periods, often playing with genre (retellings, fairy tales, magical realism, fantasy) as well.” —Vulture
Seventeen young adult authors across the queer spectrum have come together to create a collection of beautifully written diverse historical fiction for teens.
From a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood set in war-torn 1870s Mexico featuring a transgender soldier . . . to two girls falling in love while mourning the death of Kurt Cobain . . . to forbidden love in a sixteenth-century Spanish convent . . . and an asexual girl discovering her identity amid the 1970s roller-disco scene, All Out tells a diverse range of stories across cultures, time periods, and identities, shedding light on an area of history often ignored or forgotten.
Featuring original stories from:
Malinda Lo
Mackenzi Lee
Robin Talley
Kody Keplinger
Elliot Wake
Anna-Marie McLemore
Shaun David Hutchinson
Dahlia Adler
Tess Sharpe
Kate Scelsa
Natalie C. Parker
Sara Farizan

“Readers searching for positive, nuanced, and authentic queer representation—or just a darn good selection of stories—need look no further than this superb collection.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Exceptional in scope and quality . . . gives voice to the experiences that have long existed but often go unrepresented.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Read the entire set of companion anthologies featuring queer teens in the past, present, and future . . .

“Decent little collection! As most of these goes some where stronger than others. Some where a bit confusing and others were just so cute. We had so much diversity in here which is always lovely to see.
Some of my favorites were Every Shade of Red by Elliot Wake, The Girl with the Blue Lantern by Tess Sharpe, The Inferno and the Butterfly by Shaun David Hutchinson and Healing Rosa by Tehlor Kay Mejia!
I always love reading these cause they're just such a great way to find new authors to read! I think I will try and get my hands on the 2 other books in this Queer Anthology series!”
