Recently I set out to find contemporary short stories written for YA audiences that were interesting, well-written and an appropriate length for the classroom (3000-5000 words max).
After reading man short story collections and scouring YA author’s websites, I have put together the following list of short stories written for YA audiences that are entertaining and work well in the classroom.
The list includes brief descriptions of the story, as well as where they have been published.
