Synopsis
Fantastical stories to spur the imagination.
What if? It’s a question that is the beginning of endless possibilities. When science fiction writer Monica Hughes posed this question to a group of science fiction and fantasy writers, the result was this incredible collection of stories.
Covering the galaxy in setting and every possible emotion, these tales pose some interesting questions. What if the moon was haunted by a beautiful maiden? What if noise was forbidden and music was a crime? What if famous people were cloned over and over again? What if only you could save the world and you don’t know how?

Reviews
Gr 5 UpHughes has collected 14 short stories written by talented Canadians and flanked them with poems to form a superb and varied anthology of fantasy and science fiction. Alison Baird, Lesley Choyce, Charles de Lint, Sarah Ellis, Priscilla Galloway, James Alan Gardner, and Tim Wynne-Jones are among the authors represented. Many of the stories have appeared in other publications; others appear in print for the first time. While some tales step sideways from the ordinary world into the fantastical, others take place in other times or alternate realities. However, the quality of writing and originality of ideas remain consistent throughout. The voices of the storytellers, whimsical or pithy, make this collection accessible for anyone with a love of these two genres.Trish Anderson, Pinkerton Elementary School, Coppell, TX
