There’s nothing quite like corrupting the innocent minds of kids, and science fiction is the best gateway storytelling out there. Yes, better than fantasy (and I’ve got my own well-read copy of The Silmarillion, so any haters can chill).

The books listed here are generally for kids aged from two to twelve, but the age ranges are just suggestions, and most of these are fun for adults to read, too.
