kateelliottWhat's the first science fiction or fantasy novel you remember reading?
I'll go first.
If we go by fantastical elements, then I would have to say Mother West Wind Stories by Thornton Burgess, which I read and re-read obsessively in my early reading days.
If we go by books that fall more canonically into genre, then Robert Silverberg's REVOLT ON ALPHA C, which I got as a Scholastic Book selection back in the fourth grade.
I should note that I was not a precocious reader. I read a lot, but I didn't move into adult books until I was in what was then called junior high school, so early teen years.
