I love short stories and always say I'm going to read more of them. So here's a challenge to make to pick up at least one collection!
Black Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America - Ibi Zoboi Unbroken: 13 Stories Starring Disabled Teens - Marieke Nijkamp Fresh Ink: An Anthology - Lamar Giles All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens throughout the Ages - Saundra Mitchell That Way Madness Lies: 15 of Shakespeare's Most Notable Works Reimagined - Dahlia Adler Flying Lessons & Other Stories - Ellen Oh
I read and enjoyed Kali Fajardo-Anstine's Sabrina & Corina -- which could intersect with many other categories. I don't remember the last time I read a short story collection!
A year or two ago, I read BJ Novak’s One More Thing and really liked it. The stories all had such bonkers premises that the idea of what goes on in his mind really charmed me.
Any suggestions for middle grade in this category?
For this prompt I read The People Could Fly: American Black Folktales by Virginia Hamilton aloud to my 9 yr old. After we had started I found out that James Earl Jones does the audio so I wished we had started with that, but I also liked the illustrations in the book so it worked out!
