The authors of Be Honest write about heartbreak, education, immigration,
and the influence of politics with a kind of on-the-ground command you
might not expectbut that's because they've lived through it.
.
The book's authors are dozens of high school students across the country
in the latest collaborative effort from 826 writing centers, a nonprofit
formed by bestselling author Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of
Staggering Genius, What is the What) and teacher Ninive Calegari. The
nonprofit has worked with more than 24,000 students in eight cities
nationwide.
.
The centers, located in Ann Arbor, Mich.; Boston; Chicago; Los Angeles;
New York; San Francisco; Seattle; and Washington, D.C, focus on writinga
subject many students don't excel inand makes it fun. Each is its own
quirky entity, attached to a retail store that helps support the center's
costs. Students in Boston learn in the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research
Lab; in Los Angeles, it's the Echo Park Time Travel Mart; and in New York
City, it's the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. In the Museum of Unnatural
History in Washington, D.C., you'll find hindsight sunglasses, sabertooth
dental floss, and flow charts designed to help identify mythical species.

The book is then edited by professional book editors, a foreword is
written by a well known, local literary figure826DC's books have features
by crime novelist George Pelecanos and filmmaker Spike Jonzeand the book
is published and sold in the center. Profits go toward future publishing
projects and workshops at the center. In D.C., students are already
getting started on a book of poetry that will be published in May 2012.
.
"It's all about students to expressing themselves in their own voice,
being heard," Callahan says. "In the poems, it breaks down to them talking
about their world: teenage angst, love."
