As children our first experience of reading fiction is often through SFF. Spaceships, castles, quests, heroes & heroines, alternate worlds, 'here be monsters' - often these are some of the most profound reading experiences of our lives. We step through the portal of the book and we don't come back the same person. Here are five SFF books that changed me - as a child and as an adult. I hope you enjoy the list and find a book there that will transport and alter you the way it did for me.
