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.
