Amazing Stories presents three short stories written by teenagers for teenagers and produced by the Incredible Story Studio for Canadian television. Each story has been adapted into a 10-minute live action TV drama. The themes of these science-fiction stories are highly motivating for students.

Troy Black Junior High
A bizarre school where students act like zombies. Larry finds out why after he makes a chilling discovery in the basement.

Beyond the Image
Selene magically becomes the school beauty, something she's dreamed of, only to learn that appearances aren't everything.

The Mystery of Sam McNall
On vacation with his family, Nick suspects that the strange owner of a bed and breakfast and an omnipresent fellow guest mean very bad news for his annoying kid brother.

Amazing Stories introduces realistic issues - such as identity, family solidarity and excessive authority at school - into a world of make-believe, which will provoke questions and interpretations, and provide a basis for students' own writing.
