by Chris Crutcher
CC is my all-time favorite young adult author. He writes, openly, about how very difficult it is for him to write. He skyped with my 9th grade class this year and told them that it takes him more than a year to write a book, which is a pretty long time for most YA authors. In this collection, he has written shorter, novella-length, stories in which many of his characters, from previous books, meet. He has Montana West from The Sledding Hill hook up with Angus Bethune from "A Brief Moment in the Life of Angus Bethune." Wonderful. Funny. Well-written in his sardonic, CC, style. Great read for lovers of CC's books. Probably not the best for someone who doesn't know the characters already.
