An independent journal based in Hong Kong publishing poetry, fiction, art, and photography from contributors creating for school-aged readers 12 and over, they offer readers works that are “fresh, surprising, unforgettable, extraordinary, mind-blowing, humorous, bold, unique, layered, witty, educational, original.”

Dr Ho-cheung LEE, founding editor, introduces this newest issue, “Like in the previous issues, this 16th installment of BLJ offers you a well-planned journey from fear to bravery, from the dance of wildlife to the inner struggles of a young mind, and from authentic imagery to fanciful and perhaps rhetorical thoughts.”
