Rebecca Stern's fifth-grade students were bored to death with essay writing, and the one thing Rebecca needed to inspire them - great examples appropriate for kids - was nowhere to be found. Inspired by a challenge, Rebecca joined forces with her friend, social entrepreneur Brad Wolfe, and the two came up with a terrific proposal - to gather together a collection of unconventional essays by some of the best writers around. They have compiled and edited a collection of imaginative, rule-breaking, and untraditional essays that is sure to change the way you think about the essay.
