Sideshow:

Ten Original Tales of Freaks, Illusionists, and Other Matters Odd and Magical—an ARC of this anthology for young adults, edited by Deborah Noyes for Candlewick Press, landed in my post box yesterday. The real thing won't be out until mid-July, but get ready for it. My story is about anthropological exhibits, and is called 'Living Curiosities'; the other stories are by Aimee Bender, Vivian Vande Velde, Danica Novgorodoff, Annette Curtis Klause, David Almond, Shawn Cheng, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Cecil Castellucci and Matt Phelan.
