Falcon Ridge Charter School 8th graders write stories about future societies gone desperately wrong in this amazing collection. Want a taste of their dark collaboration? Try this teaser for "Up Above," written by Karlie Mahan: Jessica, a 15-year-old black-haired, blue-eyed girl, and her community were moved underground by Them because the world above is so polluted. She is sick of living underground, and sick of living under Their rule. Will she finally do something unforgettable on her 16th birthday that will change the world she knows forever? Or, will Jessica and those she loves die underground?
