A multi-genre YA anthology of bestselling, critically acclaimed Black authors challenging the concept of "the geek."
A girl who believes in UFOs; a boy who might have finally found his Prince Charming; a hopeful performer who dreams of being cast in her school's production of The Wiz; a misunderstood magician of sorts with a power she doesn't quite understand.
These plotlines and more comprise the eclectic stories found within the pages of Cool. Awkward. Black. A dynamic, exciting, and expansive collection of stories featuring exclusively Black characters. From contemporary to historical, fantasy to sci-fi, magical to realistic, this anthology celebrates and redefines the many facets of Blackness and geekiness, both in the real world, and those imagined.
