Brilliant story
The lovely tale of working together all in one easy to read before bed package. Beautiful illustrated and well adapted into the animated short, if you do bedtime stories, this is a must.

Late Night at the Magic Shop
Eli is helping someone he thinks is going to be the only customer of the day at his magic shop when a middle schooler walks in looking for help for his school’s upcoming talent show. He wants a way to make his tuba disappear so he doesn’t have to play it. Will Eli be able to help him?

Okay, that’s a bit of a simplistic plot teaser for this short story, but the set up really is that simple. And, since it is very short (I read it in about 10 minutes), it works. There is much to enjoy here, and I smiled the entire way through. Simple and charming best describe this short story.

Definitely Not a Children's Story and It's Worth the Read
The first thing I thought of when reading this was George Orwell's Animal Farm ... However Batchelor's story can not be compared to that. It's own uniquely written work on circus animals who wish to find peace and freedom.

Even though the cover is bright, quirky, and inviting this book is not for children.

For a short story, it's very depressing from start to finish. I honestly wish there was more to the middle. And, the end left me wanting to know more, though it was a twist that I was not expecting!

For a short to the point story it's worth the time in reading.

((I won an ebook copy in a giveaway on Goodreads.com and this is my honest opinion.))

Great story
Well after watching a short while I realised this is actually based on a short TV series from the UK in 2009 starring Suranne Jones. A really gripping drama. This is basically a remake but set in the US.
The key story elements are the same as a young woman released after a long period in Prison for killing a cop tries to track down her younger sister. She struggles as her past catches up and the victims family are keen for revenge.
It holds up pretty well to the original, the writer also help produced this. Just the ending seemed a little less dramatic in this version. Still a very good story and a gritty role for Sandra Bullock.

Not a bad collection of Stephen King's short stories. I noticed a common theme in many of the stories being "Do you love?" and I can not help but think that it was intentional. I am not much of a short story person but I did like many of these. I just wish that Stephen King had explanations for all of the stories in the back instead of a select few.
