Twelve Down

By Tunbridge Wells Writers

Twelve Down is a collection of short stories for younger readers by the Tunbridge Wells Writers. While loosely aimed at middle-graders (8-12 yrs) there are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to reading, so we’ve titled the collection accordingly. We hope, of course, that the stories will be enjoyed by parents too – and older siblings and aunts and uncles et al for that matter – but felt the title “12 Down and Possibly Up” a little too convoluted. In a nutshell then, here are twelve short stories written primarily with younger readers in mind. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we enjoyed writing them.
