Check out "The Philip K. Dick Reader". It's a collection of his short
stories. Short, easy reads, but lots of interesting ideas to talk about.
You know his work, even if you think you've never heard of him. He's all
over the culture: Blade Runner, Total Recall, Screamers, etc. He's a big
name -- and deserves every bit of praise -- in sci fi.

Science Fiction/Space Theme books
My favorite science fiction for that age is Ender's Game by Orson Scott
Card. The Robert Heinlein books for kids are classic science fiction.
My
daughter loved them. Also, The Forgotten Door by Alexander Key.
Thanks
Nancy
