I helped start an award for Childrens and Young Adult Science Fiction.
Recommended Books
The books here are science fiction (or at least more science fiction than fantasy) and are recommended for school and public libraries. They are also recommended to parents and those that lovingly purchase books for children. This list has books that didn't win the award because they were older than when we started, or there was one book better than it that year.

Whoooo! Ma! That's a mighty tall order. I would suggest you start by checking out the Library of Congress Web site. www.loc.edu Science fiction has been written since the 1600's and I doubt if anyone knows even approximately how many books in the genre have been written. Good luck!

Try your local library. They usually organize fiction books with a whole section of science fiction.
