[LM_NET] Target: SEC: Short stories by young adult authors

[Kelly Stern <sternk@CEDAR-FALLS.K12.IA.US>]

What are your favorite individual short stories by young adult authors?
An English teacher at my school has asked for help in choosing 8 short
stories by young adult authors to use in literature circles with a class
of reluctant readers.  He can't use anything from Athletic Shorts by
Crutcher because another teacher teaches that book.  I've come up with the
list below from anthologies that I have read, and I plan to take a few
more anthologies home tonight that I have not read, but if any of you have
any favorite stories, I would very much appreciate your suggestions.  I
need titles of individual stories rather than anthologies. 

Thank you in advance!
