A fun, creepy, and thought provoking collection of short stories from a great author. I listened to this on audiobook which I definitely recommend. A bit more emphasis on predetermined gender roles than I would have liked, but still good. (

This collection was much less exciting in light of all the other awesome collections I've worked to find in the last several years. (

I found these stories fairly promptly forgettable. Not recommended. (

I hesitate to classify this one as youth fiction. It's so incredibly deep and relevant.
