we are just finishing up our month of focus on the
genre of science fiction for our yearly reading
program. I have a list of books posted at the
following site. They are  books available at the local
public library. I'm sure your hit will be welcome.
Perhaps my list will be a start.

While reading your posting a light suddenly went on.
I am at home so don't have the store stock or a
library collection to back me up, but I'll bet that
Patricia Polacco has written something that will fit
in each of your genres. Now if I can only remember
possible titles.
Historical  "Pink and Say", "Butterfly", and "The
Keeping Quilt", Fantasy "Rencheka's Eggs", "Babushka's
Doll", Mystery ???, Drama "Chicken Sunday", "Trees of
the Dancing Goats", "Renchenka's
Eggs", "Thank You Mr. Faulkner" Adventure  the one
about her rotten red-headed brother, the one about
her birthday,Science Fiction, "Meteor"

You might also use Daniel Pinkwater books for fantasy,
mystery, adventure, drama and science fiction,  they
are much funnier but the pictures are
not as wonderful as Polacco's.
