Hi Kathy,

There is an annotated list of YA short stories on our public wiki:


http://wmlbooklists.wikispaces.com/YA+Short+Stories

It's possible there might be something in:

Not Like I'm Jealous or Anything: The Jealousy Book

Finding Our Way

Such a Pretty Face: Short Stories about Beauty



Hope this helps!

Subject: [njyac] YA short stories about materialism


A patron is looking for short stories to use in a 9th grade English class, stories that have the theme of materialism. She already knows about O'Henry's "The Gift of the Magi," and Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace."
 
She is hoping to also find stories that are more current, and ideally, they would be written expressly for YAs.
 
If you have suggestions, I'd be glad to have them!  T.I.A.
