Elizabeth, I tried to contact you off-list but the message bounced. I am
interested in YA sf novels. As a community they seem increasingly
negelected, perhaps because few of the big sf names seem to write them. It
seems to have become a separate genre altogether (please correct me if I'm
wromg).
The next issue of Foundation, by the way, is a special issue on children's
sf. Contact E.F.James@reading.ac.uk for orders,
Farah
