My thanks to the good people at Bodley Head for sending the book.
There are lots of great Other story collections for children and teens. include [[Red Spikes by Margo Lanagan]] is both , challenging and unsettling, just as you'd expect. and [[Counting Stars by David Almond]] is - absolutely gorgeous and will give with lots of background to Almond's wonderful novels. Youngers ones will enjoy [[Across the Wall by Garth Nix]]. [[The Ribbajack and Other Curious Yarns by Brian Jacques]] will appeal to fans of the horror and suspense genre. And let's not forget [[Singing for Mrs Pettigrew by Michael Morpurgo]]. Oh! And of course, the wonderful [[Losing It by Keith Gray|Losing It]] - a collection of stories about virginity from some of our best writers. Perhaps there are more volumes of YA short stories than I realised!
