The Ice Cream Machine by Adam Rubin

5.0

Great collection of short stories - but it's the author's message to young readers (more particularly, young aspiring writers) that makes this book fantastic! Six short stories, all with the same title, encouraging youngsters to take their ideas and run (well, write) with them...just marvelous! Highly recommended for older kids/tweens who like to read and want to write but are nervous about where to start. Great addition to any children's collection or elementary/middle school library!
