These stories are fun, entertaining, and perfect for just before turning out the lights! I especially enjoyed "Pop Art" - a very imaginative treatment of a friendship story between one boy and another who was the subject of extreme ridicule and prejudice. Also standing out for me was "The Cape," with a real O Henry ending! Joe Hill has the chops to follow in his dad's footsteps.
