The Chronicles of Harris Burdick: 14 Amazing Authors Tell the Tales by Chris Van Allsburg

3.0

A collection of short stories based on Van Allsburg's magical The Chronicles of Harris Burdick. Maybe it was the fact that I love that original, or that in seventh grade my class wrote our own stories based on these photos, or that Van Allsburg's original introduction held so much promise, but the majority of these stories were boring. The only one that truly thrilled me was M. T. Anderson's creepy story. Kate DiCamillo always manages to tug at my heartstrings. But the rest fell flat for me.
