Books with author Jonathan Sturak

Truly successful science fiction does two things: it gives credible glimpses into the future while entertaining the reader. With this in mind, noted anthologist Jonathan Strahan?who is also the reviews editor of Locus magazine?asked sixteen of today?s most inventive, compelling writers to look past the horizon of the present day. Neil Gaiman (Anansi Boys), Kelly Link (Magic for Beginners), Garth Nix (the Abhorsen Trilogy), Scott Westerfeld (Uglies; Pretties; Specials) and their colleagues have crafted a dazzling range of stories. Whether on spaceships, in suburbia, or in simulated gaming worlds, whether about cloning, battle tactics, or corporate politics, the stories of The Starry Rift will give every reader something to consider. This original anthology is crucial reading for those who want to see where the future?and the future of science fiction?is headed.

In their debut picture book, author/illustrator team Jonathan Stutzman and Heather Fox introduce young readers to the hilarious, the oblivious, the apocalyptically adorable Llama. So grab some cake and prepare to dance . . . because the time for Llama is nigh!

Mars! The Red Planet! For generations, people have wondered what it would be like to travel to and live there. That curiosity has inspired some of the most durable science fiction, including Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and the work of Isaac Asimov.

After reading Life on Mars, readers will never look at the fourth planet from the sun the same way again.

Now available as a separate book to Welcome To Being Human (All-In-One Edition).Imagine a story written for adults, but told through 3 separate children's stories. One bedtime story for parents to read to a child. One story for a child learning to read. One story for children to read to parents. This is just what is included in the Children's Edition of Welcome to Being Human - the highly acclaimed book that has gripped adults young and old alike. How many times have you heard, "Life doesn't come with an instruction book?" But what if it did? And what if you wrote that instruction book before arriving on Earth so that one day, in your human form, you would find it and be able to look upon your life with an entirely different perspective? Ever since humans arrived on Earth, they have - for better or worse - bounced around the planet without any sense of direction. It would be almost comical if it wasn't reality. I mean, how many times have you asked a question and heard an answer like, "I don't know why, but that is what it says?" Or even better... "That's just the way it is." After all, the greatest minds on planet Earth have only a small understanding of something much, much greater than can be explained through science, math, and history. This is why Welcome to Being Human will find the rhythm to your heart. For the first time, one book answers the great questions about life that have gone unanswered for so long! It is a story humorously written by you, for you, to help you remember all that's been forgotten... an instruction book to being human. Welcome to being human!
