“The Ultimatum” by Kris Reich, Hawken School, Lyndhurst, OH.
Erik was once his friend—but now the cool kids call Erik a loser. Will he go along with the gang or stick up for an old friend? A great discussion starter.

“Blank Disks” by Morgan Heintz, Weston Middle School, Weston, MA.
Memories of a brother, late-night English papers, chocolate chip cookies, packing for college . . . and saying goodbye.

“Masters of Men” by Steven Merel, Chadwick School, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA.
“Twilight Zone” fans will enjoy this imaginative tale of a car that’s almost human. Maybe too human!
