Firecracker


BASA’s unique anthology of our finest student writing, released annually in the spring. The writing compiled in this book is competitively selected and curated by teachers with a keen eye for literary finesse and talent. Our wish is to expose more readers to our students’ delightful work and give them an opportunity to glean inspiration from each other’s creations.

Although the content of Firecracker varies from year to year, you can expect the pages to be filled with an eclectic selection of writing--memoirs, short stories, poetry, excerpts from ambitious chapter books, and many other surprising treasures. The variety of work in this anthology evidences the limitless imagination of the young writers at BASA.
