Okay, as I am a judge of this book, I'm going to have to be circumspect with my phrasing.
I will be giving a proper rating and review once the awards are over.

Great collection of short stories; fast paced, unexpected twists. Recommended for 8 to 15 year olds.
This was a fantastic collection of quirky and fun short stories. The author knows how to capture the attention of upper elementary age kids. Boys especially will be intrigued by the premise of each story in this collection. I received it from Goodreads First Reads. I will probably give it to my 10-year-old nephew as a Christmas present!
