THE LOS ANGELES SCIENCE FANTASY SOCIETY

 RECOMMENDED READING LIST

FOR

CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS

This is a selection of science fiction and fantasy books suitable for children and young adults between the ages of 6 and 16. Titles more appropriate for younger readers are indicated with an asterisk (*).

This list is far from exhaustive. It is intended only a place to start for those who would like to have a glimpse of far-off worlds and visions of possible futures or wander in the realms of imagination.

[The list is arranged by author, and is long enough that it is divided into sections, for fast loading of the pages.]
