A diverse collection of true short stories.
A taste of everything -
* a survival story by Steven Sheinkin
* historical comic by Nathan Hale
*scientists searching for spiders by Sy Montgomery
*outdoor canoeing adventures by T. Edward Nickens (editor for Field and Stream)
*science poetry by Douglas Florian
*a story about an elephant and the origin of the word "jumbo" by Candace Fleming
and many more!
Well written-good mentor text for writing short stories
High interest stories!
Points to discuss/warning: swearing (pg. 46 in Tarantula Heaven)-"This sounds like hell!"; in the same story or another story, a swear word is inferred by the typical symbols "*&#%"; in Uni-verses the Big Bang Theory poem is used to share how the world began; in Mojo, Moonshine and the Blues the main character Muddy Waters makes illegal alcohol and has children with a couple of wives and many girlfriends.
