Science fiction book?

Question

I have to read a science fiction book for school.
Know any good ones that arnt to long?

Answer 1

Dune by Frank herbert.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Enders Game, it is the best book ever written and is science fiction

Answer 4

A Wrinkle in Time is pretty good and short - it's also really easy to read, so if ur in HS idk if they will let u read it, but u can ask

Answer 5

"Dragonflight" by Anne McCaffrey... and yes, it's sci-fi despite the title :)

Answer 6

"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.

Answer 7

Stranger in a Strange Land. About a martian in earth...learning our society and culture...then taking over...

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Turnabout by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements
A Wrinkle In Time

That's all I could think of right now...
Happy reading! :)
