Hand-picked Sci Fi Books for 11-year-olds

Sci-fi at eleven sits on the edge of YA — dystopias with something to say, deep-space survival, technology that asks questions without easy answers. Our shelf here is for readers who want their sci-fi to be about something: big ideas, real consequences, and worlds worth arguing over at dinner. Each one hand-picked by Hannah, a former English teacher.
