INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(3) 4-6 Whether confounding, mean-spirited, or occasionally kind, the actions of adults are the focus of these short stories that all begin with a child sitting down. Contemporary-set but diverse in people and place, each story finds a child contemplating various situations in which he or she must make an important choice independent of adults hitherto relied on. An emotional and thought-provoking read.
