Cover Description: The illustrated cover, in black and white negative space, features two teens who are embracing each other. On the foreground, on the right side of the page, is a Black girl with long hair and a braid circling her head. On the left side of the page is a non-binary white teen with wavy hair and an undercut, who is holding a cane. The two of them are surrounded by and slightly fade into a starry background. The top of the cover, above the characters' heads, reads Unbroken in hot pink and 13 STORIES STARRING DISABLED TEENS in white. The contributors' names are included in hot pink on the bottom section of the cover. 

Unbroken edited by Marieke Nijkamp

This anthology explores disability in fictional tales told from the viewpoint of disabled characters, written by disabled creators. With stories in various genres about first loves, friendship, war, travel, and more, Unbroken offers today's teen readers a glimpse into the lives of disabled people in the past, present, and future.

The contributing authors are award winners, bestsellers, and newcomers including Kody Keplinger, Kristine Wyllys, Francisco X. Stork, William Alexander, Corinne Duyvis, Marieke Nijkamp, Dhonielle Clayton, Heidi Heilig, Katherine Locke, Karuna Riazi, Kayla Whaley, Keah Brown, and Fox Benwell. Each author identifies as disabled along a physical, mental, or neurodiverse axis—and their characters reflect this diversity.
