Everything a reader wants from Yooper Stories

Very fun reading as the excitement of being in the area is shared in this anthology. Each story or poem is excellent. Lake Superior cold water and danger is part of several stories, one of which is seriously sad. There are fiction, nonfiction, horror, and humor pieces. I felt like I was in my Grandma’s kitchen when reading about learning to make pasties — my Grandma always said hands were the best mixers. The story about the Yooper Loop traffic is hysterical and so well written. The poetry is beautiful. A young teacher tells of difficulties in our educational system, and I agree. The young writers had me on the edge of my seat, oh, my. I really enjoyed this entire book! ( )
