Top Ya Sci-fi Books Novels & Stories

Toby asked with an etched eyebrow, watching Yara pull out a big sized novel from the shelf and Barnes smile proudly. "Thatweird_author." she replied, holding the novel up to his eye level. A bestseller mystery- thriller, crime fiction novel with the name written boldly on it 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 -𝐌𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍. "Barnes books?" Toby asked, a smile rested on his face as Yara looked at him in perplexity.

"Yes, finally.... I engineered this wedding. There were times when I thought I'd never get the two of them hitched." Silence falls, the awkward silence of people trying to find the next thing to say. Beth looks down at my book. "What are you reading?" I offer it up to her. "It's one Charlotte recommended to me. 'Time Enough for Love'; a Heinlein sci-fi novel from the seventies." Richard arches brows and rubs the side of his nose. "Doesn't sound like your sort of reading. I'd have had you down as a thrillers and suspense man?"

He smoothly drew her focus back to the gift I had given her the large beautifully wrapped book. Beth's eyes lit up, the earlier sadness completely forgotten. "Oh my goodness!" she squealed, her small hands reverently caressing the cover. "A first edition of 'Voyage to the Stars'! You know how much I love sci-fi, Sage! I've been trying to get this particular book for so long! This is why I feel more excited than ever!" Her enthusiasm was infectious and I found myself smiling genuinely, relieved to have brought such joy to the little girl.

"Let me show you our science fiction section for younger readers. There's a new series that just came out that might be perfect..." Thirty minutes and several hundred dollars later, I left with a stack of books, including a signed first edition of "Starstruck," which the clerk assured me was popular with "smart, space-loving kids." I also had a bagful of advanced puzzles from the hobby shop next door. As I loaded my purchases into the car, I felt strangely satisfied. This wasn't part of the business plan, wasn't necessary for our charade to succeed. But it felt right. Few hours later, my phone had buzzed with a text from Ava:

The light stopped at Ward 119, and he heard the cry of a newborn baby. Suddenly, words appeared on the door, and he understood that a part of the prophecy had been fulfilled. He entered the room and saw the new parents gazing lovingly at their baby girl. They were startled when they saw the seer approach their child, but he placed a bracelet on her and declared her a supernova. "But the supernova died a thousand years ago!" the father exclaimed. "Yes, but your child is different," the seer explained. "There were other supernovas, but they all died. The title has not been given until now. Your baby is the next supernova, and a prophecy is attached to her. Only the gods can protect her."
