The Third-Floor Bedroom - by Kate DiCamillo:

Reading this was making MY heart break, not Pearlie's. <3

The House on Maple Street - by Stephen King:

A perfect lift-off and a perfect short story.

Oscar and Alphonse: The Farkas Conjecture - by Chris Van Allsburg:

Did someone say math problem? *perks up*

Captain Tory - by Louis Sachar:

Short and sweet magical realism. <3

Just Desert - by M. T. Anderson:

Responsible for causing a discussion of "hold up, how IS just desert spelled?"

"We are not deleting France, Doug." had me CACKLING.

The Seven Chairs - Lois Lowry:

This one is rising in my favorites for the collection.

Mr. Linden's Library - Walter Dean Myers:

To quote Jacopo from 2002 The Count of Monte Cristo, "How is this a bad plan?"

Uninvited Guests - Jules Feiffer:

"He had been living inside his head for so long that he was comfortable with the ridiculous and completely at ease with the absurd."

I feel called out.

Another Place, Another Time - Cory Doctorow

Sideways is sideways.

Missing in Venice - by Gregory Maguire:

Nothing says "ocean liner" like "gingerbread".
