Avi has written a compelling and tautly constructed book that is a portal to grappling with the complexity of the human instinct to compete. Highly recommended.

School and public libraries should consider adding to their collections. ["Though short stories can be a hard sell in a library setting, readers who take a chance on this collection will be rewarded": SLJ 3/16 review of the Candlewick book.]
School of the Dead
Hand this spine-tingling and occasionally grotesque work to readers who have embraced Ransom Riggs's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Cornelia Funke's Ghost Knight.
