I use the short stories from Mind Storms in my 5th grade class to get the kids imaginations churning. The stories are perfect length for 2-3 20 minute sessions, with great spots to stop before finishing the stories to leave the kids hanging with suspense. They're all basically descriptive adventure narratives with mind-boggling twists. Lots of similes and metaphors in there too. The kids hang on every word!

Mindstorms is one book of three similar collections of stories by acclaimed Young Adult author Neal Shusterman. The stories are weird and scary, and although they aren't too much for your average 10-14 year old, they also amuse this 40+ year old.

Two Jewish children are hiding in at attic in Nazi Germany, where they steal looks out a window, despite the danger.

A boy returning from a family vacation finds his luggage has gone astray, to be replaced by a similar bag with clothes that fit, except they are intended for someone with a third arm.

A girl and her family flee desperately from sunrise after the Sun goes nova.

A young boy goes missing on a family trip to Mexico. He disappears into thin air.

A teenager has to die 350 million years in the past or we will never evolve.
