21 Proms by Daniel Ehrenhaft (author) and David Levithan (author)

From an amazing array of authors including John Green, David Levithan, E. Lockhart, Libba Bray, Ned Vizzini and Holly Black … 21 prom stories you’ll never forget.

It’s supposed to be one of the best nights of your life. Or, at least, you’re supposed to have a good time. But what if you’d rather be going with your best friend’s date than your own? What if a sinister underground society of students has spiked the punch? What if your date turns out to be more of a frog than a prince? Or what if he’s (literally) an ape?

There are ways you can fight it. You can protest the silliness of the regular prom by hosting a backwards prom – also known as a morp. You can throw a prom for fat girls. You can stay at home to watch old teen movies and get your cute neighbor and his cuter brother to join you. You can dance to your own music.
