8 weird short stories. First is about a boy who buys a special fish for a girl, only to have her smash the bowl and then they have to keep it alive by putting the fish in their mouths and kissing each other (passing the fish across –gross!) Best story is about the guy who has teeth that glow in the dark. “Shake” the story about the twins (one dies and the other has to live with the guilt of not shaking hands with him just before he was killed) and the special glasses that can see “heaven” is heart-wrenching.
p.18 –22 Lennie reveals his secret. (
