"Speculative Fiction for the young, these stories take the "what if?" writing platform into weird places. Some of the stories are funny, but most will play strange games with your mind. I might not reccommend these for very young readers, these stories are nightmare-inducing!"

" These would be excellent short stories to read with grades 4-6 and use to model how to write a short story. Each has an unexpected twist and the author includes copious notes about inspiration that could help students brainstorm. "
