Synopsis
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.

Reviews
First Contact contains brief synopses of the authors' favorites in the science-fiction/fantasy genre for grades 6 to 12. Entries are grouped in topical sections such as "Brain Power," "Time Warp," and "Space Opera." Listings include sequels and companion titles by the same author as well as reading-level designation from middle school to senior high. This excellent, well-organized title is highly useful for collection development and readers' advisory in both public and school libraries.
