First Contact is just that, a place for teen or adult readers, to make a first foray into the world of science fiction and fantasy. There are classics in each category, as well as current titles popular with both younger and older teens. The designations M J S stand for either middle school, grades 6-8, junior high school, grades 7-8, or senior high school, grades 10-12. Rather than a comprehensive selection tool, this volume is a beginning reader's advisory book, a key to unlock the delicious array of imaginative writings that one finds in these challenging genres.
...this resource will be a highly useful readers' advisory tool, especially for the generalist who feels out of his or her element in helping teens find good SF and fantasy. * VOYA *
An excellent and very highly recommended introductory guide to, and listing of, notable titles, First Contact is also the perfect resource and reference to preparing oneself to enjoy a science fiction or fantasy convention! * Midwest Book Review *
This excellent, well-organized title is highly useful for collection development and readers' advisory in both public and school libraries. * School Library Journal *
...contains well-written, concise, annotated bibliographies divided into 21 chapters by sub-genre....useful for increasing circulation of books already found in existing collections. * The Book Report *
