Publisher's Synopsis
You've finished your class work, you haven't any other homework on you, you left your reading book in your locker, and the sub won't let you talk with your friends. What to do? Here are nine short stories (and one poem) you can read while waiting for the bell to ring. Each story is followed by several in-depth questions for greater reading comprehension, and an optional project for deeper exploration. Plenty to keep you occupied! And much better than sitting there bored!
Now--expanded with nine new stories for slightly older readers! Stories for ex-students who forgot to bring reading material for the bus! Disclaimer: no fish were harmed in the making of this book.
