From the publisher

"On the edge of the sea, drowning in a beach of quicksand...
On the edge of occupied Cambodia, waiting to cross the Mekong River to freedom...
On the edge of knowing your fainting spell may be due to a brain tumor...
On the edge of your toes in a ballet recital, waiting for the next sabotage..."

The edge isn't always obvious. Rarely is it clearly defined. But in each of these twelve remarkable stories, young people find themselves in situations where -- mentally, physically, psychologically -- they are on the edge. Like her previous best-selling collections "Night Terrors: Stories of Shadow and Substance" and "Trapped! Cages of Mind and Body," Lois Duncan's new anthology of original short stories by acclaimed young adult authors is an exciting mix of terror and thrills, humor and heartbreak. "On the Edge: Stories at the Brink" is a wild ride that will keep you on the edge...of your seat.

First line

At Bellweather Country Day School, where I go, or rather, where I used to go-I don't think they let you come back once you've sliced up your arm in the girls' shower and gotten blood all over their disinfected white tiles-at that school for pussies, I scared kids.
