How to Not Fail AP World History with Just a Little Paranormal Assistance
by Elena Eiss
8th grade, Pittsburgh CAPA
High school is stressful enough: with family drama, impossible classes, and making new friends, the last thing a girl needs is to be haunted. Claire is failing AP World History, but has a chance to boost her grade by writing a paper about local history. Who better to ask than someone who was there?

A Banshee Wails
by Amelia Kovach
11th grade, Sharpsville HS
On a dark and stormy night at a cottage deep in the woods, Agatha, a young banshee, is about to make her first wail, signaling death to those nearby. An old music teacher hears talent in the Banshee’s cry, setting both their lives on a new path. Agatha fulfills her potential of becoming a renowned opera singer, but she’s unsure if she can deny what she was born to do.

Fracture
by Rivers Leche
12th grade, Winchester Thurston
John, a coal miner born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania, is deeply conflicted about the death of his abusive father. When his sister Christine, now a lawyer in Philadelphia, returns home to claim the siblings’ inheritance, it might just tear the family apart. Stuck on opposite ends of the political spectrum, will they be able to see eye to eye?
