Scholastic, New York, 1999, 1^st pr thus.  ISBN 0-590-60365-5.  MMPB, 162 pages plus About the Authors.  Very good; a bit of edge and cover wear, tiny corner bends, sticker ghost on front; no reading creases.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages.  ‘The settings for the stories in Altered Voices whirl dizzyingly from the past to the future, from deep space to rural suburbia, from an unstoppable snowstorm to the blazing summer sun.  The characters range from genetically enhanced humans to tiny sea creatures, from giants to fairies, from stone monsters to ghosts.  Here is everything from humor to tragedy, fantasy to horror:  an imaginative collection from nine very different writers.’ (from rear wrap)
