Your next summer read has arrived!
Fantastical Summer, a collection of slightly magical short summer stories, releases today! Developed and compiled by Vella Karman, these fifteen stories are a perfect addition to your summer reading list.
What would you do if you started growing a fluffy tail every time you felt embarrassed?
A mermaid outcast, a girl who can steal stars, and a high schooler suddenly affected by gravity in a gravity-free world—these are just a few of the fantastical premises you’ll find in this collection of short stories. Weaving classic coming-of-age themes into magical versions of our world, fifteen Christian writers each bring a fresh perspective on childhood, loneliness, and identity.
Save a spot in your beach bag, because this collection of clean, fun summer stories is more than a fluff read. This beautifully brave anthology leads us to ask hard questions while staying grounded in the truth of the Bible. You’ll want to revisit these thought-provoking stories throughout the year.
Not convinced?
The first story in the anthology is available for you to read for free.
In “The Beast” by Noah J. Matthews, homeschool teen Melinda meets a cute guy on the beach near her home in Michigan. The problem is, Melinda is a werewolf thanks to a bad decision she made when she was a small child, and everyone knows werewolves can’t fall in love.
