TEACHERS CHECK THIS OUT! This book is excellent! I am a teacher of at-risk high school students and finding curriculum that is both educational and interesting to these students is difficult, to say the least. I started off by reading a very long story called, "Perfect Angels" (a story about babysitting). It not only held their attention for the 20 minutes it took to read the story aloud but you should have heard the discussion group questions at the end! This is the first time I have seen at-risk students say they actually liked a story I read them. Poe's short stories and the works of other adults who write for kids do not do these kids justice. What they like to read is stories about kids just like them. This book is just that: stories written by high school students all over the country. It is a high-school teacher's dream come true. These books are not only great for high-school kids, but Merlyn's Pen also publishes books for many ages from 8th grade on up.
