Ten Top Stories

Humor, fantasy, love, adventure, danger, courage, death . . . The stories in this book were picked by young adults

Here is a brilliant anthology. The editor presented students with the most popular stories published in the last several years. Then he said: Choose the best, choose the ones that grip you in a vise of excitement and won’t let you go, the ones that leave you with a sense of mystery and strangeness, the ones that rock you with laughter, the ones that really mean something to you as a young adult.

The result is the brightest, freshest, most original collection of proven popular stories published in decades.
