The shock of turning eleven

Why would turning eleven years old be shocking?  But it is for Oma in the gripping story called “Rubber.”  It’s part of a collection of short stories called Step by award winning writer Deborah Ellis.  She explores the experiences of children around the world as they turn eleven – on the precipice of adulthood and taking the next “step” into their future.  As in the case of Oma in “Rubber.”  A stunning story crafted by a superbly gifted writer.  

“Rubber” is from a collection of short stories called “Step” by Deborah Ellis.  Copyright ©2022 Deborah Ellis.  Published by Groundwood Books groundwoodbooks.com.
