3 Sci-fi novels that your teens would love to read 

With all those difficult, long names to remember, learning about scientific concepts through textbooks can be a burden for many children. As a result, this can stifle adolescent curiosity about some fascinating scientific mechanisms. However, science is being explained in a fairly entertaining way with a wide range of options available as sci-fi books.  

In other words, science fiction as a genre has grown in scope and importance over the years. The reason for its growing popularity being that it has helped create alternate realities for young readers in different points of time. Science fiction novels inform youngsters about where mankind had been in the past, where it is currently and how to create the future it wants. Here is a list of 3 inspiring sci-fi books that your teen will definitely love.  

Sky Without Stars by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell 
This far-future epic, set on the French planet Laterre, is heavily influenced by Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, and may entice young readers to watch the film musical or read the book. It is the first book out of three in the series with a dark and dramatic tale of oppression, struggle, and revolution. A thief, an officer, and a young woman who is the custodian of the last surviving library are the three main protagonists in the book. In under 600 pages, teenagers will identify with the characters as they explore social inequity, truth-seeking, learning to empathise, and redirecting their thoughts away from themselves and toward their impact on others and the environment around them. It's best for strong independent teen readers because of the length, harsh reality, and mature themes mentioned in the book. 

The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman 
This smart, sci-fi book is about a teen girl who must navigate an afterlife in order to combat an AI monster bent on destroying humanity. Eighteen-year-old, half-Japanese Nami Miyamoto dies in a robbery and finds herself in a mysterious realm called Infinity. Infinity is an afterlife ruled by Ophelia, an Artificial Intelligence monster who wants revenge against humanity. The subject of life after death is a compelling one in this two-part book even as this engrossing afterlife adventure is packed with action and existential challenges. The Infinity Courts is likely to appeal to teens who appreciate a blend of fantasy and science fiction with a hint of cyber thriller thrown in. 

Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston 
This book can be said to be a loose, sci-fi re-telling of the 1997 animated musical film, Anastasia, based on the same theme. Ana, a rogue by nature, is seventeen-year-old. Ana was discovered drifting through space as a youngster with a sentient android named D09. She was rescued by a fierce space captain and the grizzled crew she now calls family. But, D09—one of the few remaining illicit metals—has started malfunctioning, and Ana will go to whatever length to fix him. Full of sacrifice and love, Heart of Iron explores the theme of what a home is. It might make young readers laugh and cry too.
