After studying and watching Dr. Perry's reviews, I believe most science fiction and fantasy books will fall under the high school reading level and some would be considered for middle school level. I still need to learn how to decipher what is appropriate for middle school versus high school reading levels. Some books will be considered too mature for middle school and could potentially be challenged by a parent/guardian.  I would like to learn how to defend my choice of books within my library, while also keeping my library a place where students can obtain quality books.

It's important to share the many different types of books that fall under the science fiction category. Prior to studying science fiction, I would only think of science fiction as outer space books and categorize everything else under dystopian. Now I understand dystopian is a part of science fiction.  I would share this misconception with others and inform them that science fiction is indeed an umbrella term for a variety of books that deal with futuristic/different ways of thinking.
