Genre:Short stories

rating:***

This is a collection of stories by many different authors. All of these stories are about the agonizing pain of being that unlucky age of 13. This book consists of the different narrators’ experiences when they were 13. There are stories like What’s the worse that could happen, Kate the great, If you kiss a boy and so on. My favorite story is What’s the worse that could happen. A boy named Murphy Murphy thinks Murphy’s law of bad luck was made just for him. Whenever he tries to do something it’s always stopped,canceled,moved, or goes wrong. When he gets a chance to do a play he accepts. He does his part perfectly until he chokes and breaks his leg.
