High School Literary AnthologyThe ideal text to get high school kids writing instead of texting.There's a 17-foot-tall naked guy who lives in Florence, Italy. He spends most of his time being ogled by anyone who cares to look. He's okay with this—he isn't the least bit ashamed. He's been doing this for over five hundred years, after all.Come to think of it, maybe you've seen him before. His name is David. His picture's on the cover of this book.David began his life as a very large, very lonely, and very slightly mistreated block of rock. When David's father, the legendary sculptor and all-around artistic genius Michelangelo, looked at the rock, however, he didn't just see a simple piece of weathered marble—he saw the stone boy, the statue, trapped inside.When you look at rocks, what do you see? What are the things you see in life that no one else sees? Chances are that you see some pretty cool, pretty wild stuff.

Middle School Literary AnthologyThis is the middle school anothology that makes middle school kids want to get in touch with their inner poet or pirate tale teller.What do you do when you're the goddess of love, but you don't have arms? That's the trouble with the Venus de Milo, this crazy armless statue some guy found on an island called Milos about two hundred years back. You've probably seen the statue somewhere before... maybe on the cover of this book!Nobody's quite sure how the Venus de Milo lost her arms. The French sailors who bought her, though, claimed that they battled brigands on a beach to get to her. Apparently, her arms were ripped off during the fight!That's a pretty cool story.It might not be true, but, now that you've heard that version of the tale, you'll probably never forget it. It's unique and exciting, and only the Venus's own rescuers could have told it like that.There are an infinite number of Venus de Milos in the world—objects, people, places, and ideas that are strange, cool, and quite possibly, unique to your life. And, just like those French sailors, you, too, have awesome versions of those Venuses' stories to tell.
