"The eponymous "Jawbreakers", by Jen Campbell, concisely evokes a child's attempts to assert themselves in a world of muddled morals.

('Jawbreakers: National Flash Fiction Anthology' reviewed in 'Flash: The International Short-Short Story Magazine').
The collection itself, with stories from me, Ali Smith, Ian Rankin, David Gaffney and others
is available over here.
