science fiction anthology of all-new stories being edited byJonathan Strahan that is due for publication in 2008. Strahan asked each of the authors to write a science fiction story aimed at young people, reminiscent of the type of 1950's science fiction stories that are considered to be classic SF juveniles, but that would resonate better with young people of today.Strahan gave the example of
Robert A. Heinlein 's "The Door into Summer " as the type of 1950's SF juvenile he was thinking of, although that novel is not normally classified as one of Heinlein's juveniles, though it was written during the same period.The stories that have been selected for inclusion are listed below.
