Opis

The first volume of "Seven Deadly Sins, A Young Adult Anthology," deals with possibly the most severe of all sins: Pride. Whether a story centers around magic, a crime, a scientific experiment or a night out that ends in disaster, our young adults need to decide if pride will be an obstacle they overcome, or if it will be the weakness that holds them back. Thirteen stories, thirteen choices. One theme.
