(4) K-3 O'Malley (Backpack Stories) provides six brief tales that ensure readers will never look at their school desks the same way again. In "It Came from Within," a test-taker is flustered by something in her desk. "Desktec" introduces the desk of the future. The stories, presented as comics, contain silliness and fright (sometimes both) but can be difficult to follow.
