1: Wonderful Anthology
This collection of short stories features wonderful authors and interesting, well told tales. An easy and pleasant read for young adults and older audiences.
|
2: What I wanted and more...
I bought this book for the prequel to Silver Kiss but after reading it in its entirety It is obvious that all of these stories could stand on there own.

3: Color of Absence shows loss in many ways
I absolutely solidly recommend this anthology of short stories.All of the stories deal with loss, but different types of loss and the stories are as varied as the writers who have written them. Walter Dean Myers uses baseball for his setting, Annette Curtis Klause writes about a vampire, and "Shoofly Pie" by Naomi Shihab Nye is set in A DINER!! All of the stories are brilliantly written and selected. Anyone who has experienced loss will love these stories, but anyone who enjoys great writing will also love these stories.Avi's story about a bicycle theft is wonderful and "The Rialto" is great as well. "The Rialto" was supposed to be made into a novel, but no news yet. UNTIL THEN, Read the short story. It is fabulous. I can't believe in a collection of short stories, there is not a one that I did not care for.

4: GOOD BOOK
This book makes for a good read. it has theraupitc ways of dealing with death, loss, and ways of finding hope.

5: Color of Absence
I read the story "Summer of Love" by Annette Curtis Klause. I thought it was a really good short story. I like this story because it is funny and I think vampires are cool because they are wicked. I thought is was sad because Simon was alone until he meets a cat. Then when the cat died he was alone again.:( Other kids in my class think the story is sad, but they liked it too. :(
