{"product_id":"2940013794870","title":"Pulling up Stakes and Other Piercing Stories","description":"Many things can pierce – sharpened stakes, fencing swords, cat's claws, short stories, ideas, earrings, and love, to name just a few. This collection of eleven penetrating stories, gathered from my contributions to YA anthologies, contains some of my favorite pieces, including a slapstick account of a young man sent on a mortifying mission by the girl he loves, a tale about the mysteries of faith and belief, and a comedy of errors where a Transylvanian immigrant arouses suspicion in the darkness of the Alaskan winter. I've had the pleasure of writing short stories for the best anthologists in the YA world.  Now, I have the pleasure of sharing those stories with my readers in one sharp collection.","brand":"David Lubar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070254924016,"sku":"2940013794870","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013794870_p0.jpg?v=1763946412","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013794870","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
