Alex · Accepted Answer

Dune by Frank herbert.

kinradej · Answer

"The Time Machine" or "War of the Worlds" by HG Wells.  Both are short, and HG Wells is the Father of Science Fiction.

I second the "Dune" and "Ender's Game" recommendations, too.

But the best SF book I've ever read is "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein.

Molly T · Answer

Try Robert Heinlein's The Sixth Column. It's about a small hold-out group of humans trying to break Earth free of alien dominion.

Out of the Silent Planet, C.S. Lewis (The guy that wrote the Chronicles of Narnia.)

The invisible man.

It's kind of old, but it's short, it's not about space, and you already know what it's about.

Besides, your teacher will probably be thrilled that you picked a "classic".
Teachers are funny that way.
