“First times” can be life-changing experiences. Marthe Jocelyn has selected fourteen unforgettable stories, written by several of the best authors in North America, which explore human nature and take the reader on a transforming journey. From innocent firsts, such as first blue jeans, first boyfriend, first job, first step into adulthood, to the more complex first disillusionment, first inappropriate love, first family breakup, first breach of trust, to the shocking first dead body and first night alone, the stories in First Times — in all their diversity — embrace and captivate with their power.
Contributors include Martha Slaughter, Curtis Parkinson, Susan Juby, Alan Cumyn, Susan Adach, Ted Staunton, Richard Scrimger, Gillian Chan, Bill Habeeb, Nancy Hartry, Bill Richardson, Tim Wynne-Jones, Marthe Jocelyn, and Sarah Ellis.

      Gr 8-10-The 14 stories in this collection are by established young adult authors, most of them well-known Canadians (Sarah Ellis, Marthe Jocelyn, Tim Wynne-Jones). They share a common themethat life-changing event known as the "first time." First love, first crime, first dead body, first foray into adulthoodthis anthology covers those and more. The inclusion of various genres, including science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, and romance, will make the book appeal to a diverse audience. If readers are able to look past the rather youthful cover art, they will find inspiring, entertaining, and well-written stories. "First Times" could inspire students to write about happenings in their lives that were particularly memorable or life-altering."Robyn Zaneski, New York Public Library"
