Summary: The Epitome of Depressing Eighties "Writing"
Comment: This is going to be short, but sweet. This book was by far one of the most bothersome collections of short stories I have had the misfortune to come across. With authors such as Robert Lipsyte, Diane Duane, and Richard Peck, this is hardly what I would call a "selection of great work from great writers." For that matter, It isn't a collection of anything but chronologically trapped short stories featuring such characters as "Craig the Cat" the rock-star who dressed like a cat and held a bottle of spilling milk while posing atop a garbage can for magazine shoots. The biggest problem with this book is that the stories are oriented for pre-teens but to find any value or worthwhile messages in the book, you would have to be at least sixteen. Oh the sweet irony. As a young teenager, I feel that this book was a complete was of time. G'day.

Summary: real short stories
Comment: I was realy impressed by the length of these. I have wriiten better and some times even longer ones when I was in 7th grade. I have to admit I was spoiled by a collection of short stories by Jack London called fantastic tales it was great. Now this one had extremely small stories. Ithink that 1 or 2 typed computer pages single spaced would equal some of these stories. They also have no real content. One on page 22 is about a unicorns that live under the streets of New York and that had no begining middle or even no plot and no end. This is definetly not worth it. It also is not for young adults like it advertises it is for small children. Also they can't destroy the human race in the blink of an eye. These stories are not appealing but instead appalling and they are atrouches for 20+ year old writers.

Summary: Great book for secondary Engligh teachers!
Comment: As a middle school English teacher, I am always interested in finding short stories that can be used as a part of curriculum while being interesting to teenagers. Sixteen is designed around "themes" which fits in nicely with today's teaching methods. Not only are they interesting and thought-provoking, the stories also make it easy to teach literary elements/techniques
