In this collection of essays, authorities on a wide range of topics
related to science fiction discuss themes and particular works of
special interest to young readers. The chapters cover the founding
works of science fiction for young readers, specific authors and
their works, and science fiction as a vehicle for exploring
philosophical, religious, and social ideas. Essays discuss the
literary and thematic elements of science fiction and shed light on
the evolution of science fiction as a genre for young readers. The
volume begins with a section of essays on the origins of science
fiction as a genre for young readers. In this section are chapters
on such topics as Victor Appleton's "Tom Swift" series, the
contributions of Madeleine L'Engle, the impact and influence of
Isaac Asimov, and the significance of Robert A. Heinlein. The
second section contains chapters on particular themes, authors, and
literary works. By approaching works and authors through particular
themes, the chapters in this section offer a comprehensive view of
the achievements of individual writers and demonstrate how certain
themes bind together a particular author's works. The third
section, on science fiction as a vehicle for ideas, steps away from
the literary and stylistic devices of science fiction and looks
beyond the genre to the larger ideas that science fiction conveys.
