The
Campaign for Shiny Futures
Scholar Farah
Mendlesohn ponders why “science fiction for teens
[doesn’t] get the same attention or respect as fantasy.”
Her online-only annotated
bibliography highlights what’s good in kids’
SF. While the current climate of SF publishing is problematic,
Mendlesohn sees Philip Reeve’s Hungry City Chronicles
as a step in the right direction. Read Horn
Book reviews of the series and Reeve’s
own thoughts from our November/December 2007 issue. Finally,
Gregory Maguire suggests Jill Paton Walsh’s The
Green Book as a future science fiction classic.

Rudge Long examines various versions of “The Three
Little Pigs”; we’ve gathered Horn
Book reviews of the nine books she features. And be sure
to take a look at other articles in our What
