Space and science fiction stories

Blast off to moon bases, floating cities and ships heading to faraway stars. Our space stories mix wonder with a little real science: why day turns to night, what is in our solar system and what it might be like to live on another world.

The science fiction books for ages 9 to 12 are thoughtful adventures about friendship, teamwork and doing the right thing. Younger children will find gentler books about stars, planets and asteroids.

Reading tips

Look at the night sky together after reading and find the moon, then a bright star.
Ask "what would you pack for a trip to another planet?" and make a list.
For older readers, talk about the choices the characters make. Would they choose the same?
