Explore the fantastic!

One of the most popular categories for books is Science Fiction/Fantasy. By reading fantastic books, students stimulate their own imaginations and creativity. They break the bonds of reality, explore outer space, visit worlds that don’t exist, and discover the joys and limitations of having superpowers. As the frustrations and challenges of childhood are faced and overcome in imaginary settings, the reader’s character is developed and strengthened. We, at RIFSoCal, select Science Fiction books which are interesting, sometimes scary and sometimes funny, but which encourage students to evaluate their own lives through fantastic situations. Through feedback from our schools, we know which titles the students love, how they love to scare themselves, and what makes them laugh.
