Crush
by Carrie Mac
Isnât she fazed by any of this? Does she do this all the time? Make unsuspecting, seemingly straight girls squirm? Or am I making it all up? But making up what? The butterflies are real. The fact that I want to kiss her is real.
Would kissing a girl be different from kissing boys? If all I did was kiss her, would that make me queer? Are you queer just for thinking it? Or does doing it make you queer? And what if I donât want to be queer? Do I get a say in this at all?
Because of a moment of indiscretion, Hopeâs parents send her to New York to spend the summer with her sister. Miserable, Hope ends up meeting Nat and developing a powerful crush. The only problem is that Nat is a girl. Hope is pretty sure she isnât gay. Or is she? Struggling with new feelings, fitting in and a strange city far from home, Hope finds that loveâand acceptanceâcomes in many different forms.
Stuffed

âSo, do we have a deal?â Mr. Evans asked.
âUnbelievable,â I muttered under my breath.
âI donât understand,â Mr. Evans said.
âThe whole thing is unbelievable. First you try to threaten me. Then you try to bribe me. And now you do the two together, trying to bribe me and threatening me if I donât take the bribe.â
âI donât like to think of it in those terms,â he said.
When Ian and his classmates watch a documentary about the health concerns of eating fast food, Ian decides to start a boycott against a multinational food chain. Can Ian stand up for what he believes in? Can he take on a corporate behemoth and win?
Exposure
by Patricia Murdoch
I was happier than I had been for a long time. Everything was crashing down around Dana. Finally I was getting some justice. But I wanted a bigger helping. This wasnât enough. I had to do something.
I went into the washroom and dug a marker out of my pencil case. I drew a box and a couple of circles, with lines for a flash going off, on the outer wall of the first cubicle. No one would be able to miss it. It didnât look exactly like a camera, but it would do. And for the finishing touch I wrote SMILE DANA, with a happy face right beside it.
Exit Point
by Laura Langston
âIâm not dead. Iâm still me. I still have a body and everything.â
âYou are still you, but you donât have a body. What youâre seeing is a thought form.â He points to a tall gold urn up by the minister. âYour body is in there. You were cremated.â
Thunk thunk, thunk thunk. My heart pounds in my chest. Dread mushrooms in my stomach. Sweat beads on my forehead.âBut everybody knows death is the end. That thereâs nothing left but matter.â
âDeath is only the beginning, Logan. Hannah knows that. Lots of people do.â
