Source? (Links please?)
- groovy2shoes 13y agoI'd put Dune on that list.
- humanrebar 13y agoDune is good, but would you cover it in a sixth grade Language Arts class?
- groovy2shoes 13y agoIn my experience, covering any literary work in "Language Arts" class is a good way to suffocate any interest a sixth grader might have in said work. So no, I wouldn't.
- anatoly 13y agoAre you asking about good SF novels in general or those suitable to teach young kids? For the former, there's so much SF better than Card's. Perhaps Gene Wolfe's _The Book of the new Sun_ cycle, with its brilliant writing and real moral complexity. Or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. For the latter, lots of classic SF - Azimov, Heinlein etc.
- Sujan 13y agoSorry, I was asking for general tips (that are better than Enders'game) I can add to my reading list. I loved some of Card's novels, but always looking to expand my horizon and find new stuff. Thanks.
