A thought-provoking collection of short stories and poems, celebrating freedoms or quietly mourning their loss... It has the force of several one-inch punches, delivered without pause.

This is an amazing book. It sends out a real message that we all deserve freedom and the right to choice. I loved how each story was different. [...] It highlights the power of books to change lives.
Teen Titles, reader review
A valuable message is forcefully conveyed. No doubt a useful source book for stressing the value of civil rights and personal freedom and the importance of safeguarding them.

This book is certainly and important and timely contribution to the field of young adult literature and as I finished reading the last piece, I immediately felt that I would return to the collection as a resource for planning informative and politically relevant lessons for Key Stage Three pupils.

Here I Stand is a compelling collection of stories, poems and graphic narratives commissioned by Amnesty to explore different aspects of our human rights. [...] each contribution presents a human rights issue in a thought-provoking and original way.

There's a lot to love about this pained, poised collection of short stories and much of that comes from its careful and classy curation.
