Roald Dahl's story continues to capture the attention and imaginations of children today, as it did when it was first published in 1964. This story features the adventures of a young and ordinary boy who wins the opportunity to tour a mysterious factory that is owned by an eccentric chocolate maker. The hero of the story is Charlie Bucket, a poor child who lives with his parents and four grandparents in a little ramshackled house that is sparse, but filled with love.

Best Young Adult Novels, Best Teen Fiction, Top 100 Teen Novels It's almost a cliche at this point to say that teen fiction isn't just for teens anymore. Just last year, the Association of American Publishers ranked Children's/Young Adult books as the single fastest-growing publishing category. Which is why we were only a little surprised to see the tremendous response that came in for this summer's Best-Ever Teen Fiction poll. A whopping 75,220 of you voted for your favorite young adult novels, blasting past the total for last year's science fiction and fantasy poll at, dare we say it, warp speed. And now, the final results are in. Selecting a manageable voting roster from among the more than 1,200 nominations that came in from readers wasn't easy, and we were happy to be able to rely on such an experienced panel of judges. Summer, like youth, is fleeting.

There are so many wonderful short stories out there, many of which can be used to teach a variety of literary elements and paired with other texts. Here's 13 of my favorites.1. The Sniper by Liam O'Flaherty I’m always looking for texts that will draw in my reluctant male readers. This short story is one that I like to read just before the holidays because of its message about giving and thinking of others. “The Interlopers” is a short story that is sure to hook reluctant readers. 4. This is one of my absolute favorite short stories to dig into. Literary criticism can be a complex idea to introduce to students.

The idea behind this short story has always fascinated me. 12.
