Description
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.

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!
