Presents four stories for reluctant readers that feature an alien life form that is more dangerous than it seems, an unexpected discovery by two space garbage collectors, a pair of oddly similar new neighbors, and the end of a space war.
Suitable for readers who may find traditional teen novels too daunting, this volume contains six easy-to-read short stories aimed at the reluctant or struggling reader. The stories are punchy and dramatic, and cover a variety of genres including science fiction, crime, romance, history and humour.
An enthralling collection of four intriguing science fiction stories. A strange creature kept in a science lab isn't quite what it seems in Gillian Philip's "The Changeling;" two space garbage men pick up a bit more than they bargained for in David Orme's "Space Junk;" a young girl has an unsettling encounter with identical strangers in Mary Chapman's "Strangers;" and a space war comes to an end, but at what cost in Alan Durant's "The Neronian Box."
