Patricia MacLachlan contributed to six anthologies for young readers between 1986 and 2008. These range from fantasy collections like Dragons & Dreams and Fire and Wings to the age-themed series that included volumes for seven-, eight-, and nine-year-olds.
Acting Out, published in 2008, is her most recent anthology contribution. These collections gave MacLachlan a chance to write alongside other children’s authors and reach readers who might not have encountered her individual books.
