1: Captivating, High, High Interest Stories
There's a story in this anthology called "Wishing it Away," which is so addictive even the most reluctant reader will be at the edge of his/her seat, begging for more. Most of these stories are "sure things." I recommend them for 9th grade, especially.

2: My son surprised me with this book!
My son is 13. He is very picky on what he reads or he would not read at all. I decided to get him compilation of short stories. One of them is this book. He really surprised me. He could hardly put this book down. He gets up early in the morning even on school days to spend some time reading the book before getting ready for school. I highly recommend this book for those young adults who rarely read. It got my son reading for hours!

3: short stories about tough issuses
This book is a great book about teens dealing with tough issues. It touches on many issuse that teens deal with every day, such as teen pregnancy, drug use and abuse, not knowing how to handle. The fact that it is written as a group of short stories makes it that much more appealing to a younger audience. If you are looking for a book that deals with tough issues in an appealing manner than I would highly recommmend this book to you.

4: Great stories...there's at least one for everyone
I read this book in less than a day. The stories were really realistic, and they're things that real teenagers face in everyday life. All the stories are by different authors, and I liked how they put a mini-bio after each of the stories to tell about that author's most famous books that had won the most prizes, etc. It helped, because if there was a story I really liked, then I could get the book with the longer version (most of the stories came from a book the author had written). It was an awesome book.

5: An excellent discussion tool for character education . . .
Given the recent trend toward violence with teenagers, this book provides a powerful discussion piece in the middle school classroom. The stories in this collection all have characters who face difficult moral delimmas. This can spark many classroom activities where students determine the best course of action. This gets young adults talking about character, taking responsiblity, and choosing the right path. Furthermore, the high interest level of the stories hook even the most reluctant of readers! It was hard for anyone in the room to put down.
