Ah, such a cute little read. I like this book. It was short but very sweet. I've never read a book that was centered around the disease Xeroderma Pigmentosum so I was interested in Angela Johnson's spin on the rare skin disease. However, this is by no means a dark book. It was very light and sometim...
3.5 stars. This book is a short and easy read but packs a good punch. I enjoyed the theme of "first part last" that was carried through the book by its format (chapters of "now," the first weeks of Feather's life, interspersed with chapters of "then," Nia's pregnancy), and the conflicting simultaneo...
One day, I was at the library with a friend and I saw this book on the shelf. Just laying there, waiting to be picked up. And, upon picking it up, there was absolutely no contemplation on whether or not I should read it. This is probably the best short story book I've read since Jon Scieszca's Guys ...
Summary: Shoogie moves out of her family home and into a cabin in the woods with a former soldier. They share a sweet but tenuous connection until tragedy intervenes.Verdict: Confusion. Yay!: The book is short and easy to read, which makes it great for reluctant or slow readers, but also deep, which...
Grabbed of of the children's shelf for the kid who likes spooky stories, as well as for me.***Well, the Wolfchild is still working on it, but I've finished my read. A really strong collection of sudden fiction, some truly creepy, some funny as anything. I particularly like the addition of comic-st...
Strong, spare and scary tale of a sixteen-year-old father who has total responsibility for his tiny daughter. Told in alternating 'now' and 'then' chapters, it's a powerful and moving account of how a baby changes a life. Especially if one is not quite grown. I especially liked that it was from the ...
Kids will love this book--maybe boys in particular, but don't all kids love scary stories? And these are so short that there's not time to get really scared during the individual stories, so I think these might be mom-pleasers as well. Some of them are just weird, some have funny surprise endings,...
How scared can I get in thirty seconds? Well, I decided to find out. I picked up this book upon seeing the words "half-minute". This greatly appealed to my fluctuating attention span, which that day was extremely short. Overall, the stories were good; some more than others. It was interesting to see...
This is a collection of short stories for young adults about students who don't fit in at their high schools. It deals with the issues of violence and bullying and the impact of these things on the individual and the community. I think this book could be very significant for young readers because a...
