This anthology collection features established children's and YA authors writing science fiction and fantasy short stories. The stories are diverse in tone and intensity, ranging from lighthearted adventure to darker sci-fi, but generally remain age-appropriate for upper-elementary through middle-grade readers. Most content is imaginative rather than graphic, though a few stories include mild peril or unsettling moments typical of the fantasy/sci-fi genre.
