Recommended Ages: 14+

Edited by Marieke Niijkamp.

This anthology delves into the experience of disability through fictional stories narrated by disabled characters, all crafted by authors with disabilities. Unbroken features tales across various genres, exploring themes of first love, friendship, war, travel, and more, providing today’s teen readers with insights into the lives of disabled individuals throughout history and into the future. The collection includes contributions from award-winning authors, bestselling writers, and emerging voices such as Kody Keplinger, Kristine Wyllys, Francisco X. Stork, William Alexander, and many others. Each author identifies as disabled—whether physically, mentally, or neurodiversely—and their characters reflect this rich diversity.
