This new anthology compiled by Ken Stiles presents "flash science fiction" - short, easy to read tales that tap into a child's interest in science and stir the imagination.

This thought-provoking and often humorous collection contains 20 "drabbles" (stories of exactly 100 words) and 10 longer "flash fiction" tales, each under 1,500 words from beginning to end, packed with entertaining characters and colorful adventures. Both reluctant and strong readers will enjoy this collection of flash science fiction stories for some good old-fashioned fun. This item is printed on demand.
