This Family Is Driving Me Crazy

This Family Is Driving Me Crazy
G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2009. 224 pgs. Young Adult

This collection of ten stories by popular teen authors focuses on the fact that while our families may drive us crazy, they're still our families and we can't help but love them. There are stories about learning to understand each other and find common ground, crazy wedding stories, and more. Authors include Gordon Korman, Jack Gantos, Joan Bauer, and Walter Dean Myers.

As is common in my short story reading experience, I definitely liked some stories better than others. However, with this collection, I don't think there was any story that I really disliked. A quick read that does remind us to find the good things in our families, however crazy they may be.
