Have you ever read one of those books that turned out to be a complete and total waste of your time? That you envisioned yourself summoning mystical powers to take back the lost hours you enslaved a front a palm sized, leaf-paged master? That you endearingly and wholeheartedly tried to conjure up excuses as to why that book was some how beneficial to you in SOME distinct, (possibly extinct), rare oh-look-a-two-dollar-bill kind of way? I have. This book is wack.

I was disappointed. I knew that Peck's "Priscilla and the Wimps" came from this collection, and so I thought the rest of the stories would be of the same caliber. Not so. Some are good, but overall, these stories were just okay. The copyright year (1984) speaks volumes to me about short stories. How 'bout you?

Sixteen short stories on a variety of topics by authors who specialize in writing young adult fiction. It was a quick read with a couple of really good stories - I especially enjoyed Diane Duane's.

I first read this at age 13 and continue to revisit it throughout the years. The stories are unusual, clever, and witty.

I didn’t like this collection. I found the stories to not be satisfying. I often thought, am I just not getting this?

When I was looking at out loud reading materials, this came up. It looks like a good collection to look into further in the future.

There were two stand-out stories in this book. I'll let you figure out which ones.

I only read two of these stories because the others didn't seem interesting.
