Visions: 19 Short Stories
3 journalers for this copy...
Great collection!
Visions Bookring
Okay! We are going to start a book ring for a collection of short stories I got at a garage sale this summer. It is 19 short stories by outstanding authors for young adults. Though you can read them all, I need 19 participants to make journal entries on each of the stories. You will be assigned one of the stories to write a JE on and you will write a JE about that story, then pass the book on to the next person. You can read all of the stories and of course you can comment on other stories too, but your JE has to be mostly about the story assigned to you.
If you are interested in this book ring, PM me!
Thanks!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Shadows
by Richard Peck
When a young girl grows up in a Cajun plantation with two spinster aunts, she has plenty of time to be a southern belle. Instead, the heroine of this short story (unnamed) greets ghosts. She talks to dead fathers adn daughters, lost soldiers and crying mothers. They all haunt her Louisiana plantation and as she grows up they comfort her in eerie ways unlike other children. Then she meets Seth. Together she and Seth grow learning together and warming up to puberty in the old south. When she hits middle school she is smitten by teenage life and forgets Seth until the night before she leaves for college when he visits again, only this time as a man.

I'm mailing this off to a friend. Happy Reading!

OMG! Thanks Felicia! I love bookrings! Thanks!
I know I have had this book for a long time, but I've been busy.
I read each story and this is a really great book. The stories in this collection are fantastic and will introduce young readers to some really great authors.
My favorite story was The Good Girls by Fran Arrick. The author creates in 16 year old Mary Louise a heroic abused teenager who discovers her salvation in the eyes of one of her dance students who is also abused by her daddy. Together the girls agree to tell what their daddy's have done for each other, and hopefully end the violence and abuse.
Though there are some really hard ideas in this story, its really good because it makes you realize that abuse is not your fault and sometimes you just need help to stop it.

This is a good book and I think the students will like it, but because of mature content, I believe I should secure parent permission before allowing students to read the book.
