Children's science fiction is a separate world in literature that has been gaining momentum lately. Moreover, the line that separates the works of this genre from more adult fiction is often very insignificant. Books written in the young edalt genre, like to read not only to children and adolescents, they are interesting to older readers. Such a fantasy allows you to believe in a miracle and again see the colorful world, where good must necessarily defeat evil.
Kir Bulychev, “The Adventures of Alice”
One of the most striking Russian writers of this genre can certainly be considered
Kira Bulycheva. Books about the adventures of Alice Selezneva - a classic fiction for children.
Two books of the series “A Hundred Years Ago Ahead” and “The Adventures of Alice” are best known, based on which a film and a cartoon were shot.
The main character is the restless 12-year-old girl Alisa Selezneva. She lives at the end of the 21st century, when outer space is plowed by superlight ships, aliens are no news to anyone, and there is even a zoo with rare animals from different planets. Alice’s father, professor of biology Igor Seleznev, runs this institution, although more often he has to worry about his daughter. After all, Alice manages to constantly get into various troubles and find adventure even from scratch.
Sergey Lukyanenko and his worlds for children
The famous science fiction writer writes not only adult books in the urban fantasy genre, in his work there are two works that are written in the genre of children's fantasy. True, it is very arbitrary, since the issues raised are clearly not childish.
“Knights of the Forty Islands”

And you yourself, still a boy, find yourself in some kind of mysterious place and in order to survive you are forced to fight with people like you, but who are on another island.

"Myo, my Myo"
Astrid Lingred wrote not only the famous book about Baby and Carlson, but also a creepy tale about the adventures of the boy Bosse. This book, although children's science fiction, but holds in suspense no worse than a good horror.
The main character is an adopted child who does not remember his real parents and is not particularly loved in his new family. Once, the shopkeeper felt sorry for him and treated him to an apple, asking the boy for this to put the postcard in the mailbox.
This is where the adventures of Bosse begin. It turns out that he is a prince, and his father is the real king of the magic country Desired. And Bosse is not Bosse at all, but Mio.

According to legend, only Myo can defeat him, and the boy goes on a journey ...
Children's fiction for older children
At the age of 14-15, I want to read more adult literature, but with the same fabulous plot. Many authors write books focusing on this age audience. Vampires, various monsters and hunters on them come to life on the pages, transferring to magical worlds.
