This chapter opens the book with an example of a science fiction book for children, Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor (2014), and an anecdote about how it was nearly not published due to the belief that children do not like science fiction with too much science. Through comparing this children's book to advanced and classic science fiction, this chapter sets the stage for examining how adult beliefs about childhood innocence and ability obscures the actual quality and possibilities of science fiction for young readers. The chapter concludes with an overview of the book's other chapters. |
