Sixteen: Short Stories by Outstanding Writers for Young Adults

WE got a better deal, better product, more quickly than expected. will order from here again!

The book I read was name Sixteen. It had many types of stories that included emotion in the reading. My reaction was that I really like the book. It reminds me of the book call Black Boy. The stories are great to sit down and read to yourself. I did have many different dislike about the book. It does have any scary stories, and it doesn't include murder stories either. But I did like how it brought out the love stories, and how it gave information about the people's lives who the stories are about the book. For example, there was a story called Furlough that had two people name Dottie and Jack. They were in love with each other, but they had to leave one another for the war that was going on in their time. The story did bring out the characters and their emotions as well. I really think it's a great book overall. It's nice to have something you can relate to or feel the reactions it sends out to you. I would recommend it to anyone who is emotional, because if your not the one who cries, then you're not going to like this book at all. But it is a great book.

As a middle school English teacher, I am always interested in finding short stories that can be used as a part of curriculum while being interesting to teenagers. Sixteen is designed around "themes" which fits in nicely with today's teaching methods. Not only are they interesting and thought-provoking, the stories also make it easy to teach literary elements/techniques
