Features: The book "Departure" presents a literary world created by teenagers in their youthful fantasies. The 21 stories are all written by seventh-grade students, covering themes such as the familial views of American Chinese, teenage fantasies about the opposite sex, racial issues, the helplessness of urban life, and self-deprecation under academic pressure. The writing is fluent, the ideas fresh, and the imagination rich. Each story is accompanied by an introduction to the American cultural background and vocabulary explanations. The Chinese translation makes this book an excellent learning material with high literary and entertainment value. Vivid readings further give the beautiful stories wings.
