The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy for Teens: First Annual Collection (Year's Best Science Fiction & Fantasy for Teens)
Grade 9 Up -This superior collection is sure to be enjoyed by fans of both genres. Although every story has merit, two are exceptional: David Gerrold's "Dancer in the Dark," an eerie tale of life in a world without light; and Bradley Denton's "Sergeant Chip," an unusual account of the horrors of war and the loyalty of soldiers. Four stories-"The Faery Handbag," "Sleeping Dragons," "CATNYP," and "The Wings of Meister Wilhelm"-feature female protagonists. In addition to the selections being enjoyable to read, they defy stereotypes of the genres, and each one has an excellent introduction that provides background information and recommends similar kinds of stories/novels.-Jessi Platt, Auburn Public Library, ALCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
