I run a "Short Stories Book Club" for 13 year olds. Each week, we read a new short story and then get together to discuss.
Please share your favorite short stories that are appropriate for 13 year olds.
I try to keep things between 3-15 pages. I'm open to all genres and even other mediums (like poetry, excerpts, screenplays, etc).
So far, some of the kids' favorites have been
– the dog and the dragon (excerpt from Brandon Sanderson novel)
– to this day (spoken word poem by Shane Koyczan)
– all summer in a day by ray Bradbury
– zebra by chaim potok
