The Man with the Red Bag

(4) 4-6 When Charles Stavros joins his tour group, Kevin, a twelve-year-old aspiring writer, becomes suspicious that the red bag Stavros carries contains something dangerous. Kevin decides to make it his mission to see what Stavros is really up to. The story raises interesting questions about post-9/11 stereotypes, but with an anticlimactic ending, it fails to leave a lasting impression.
