Sorry, I tried to reply to Betty and it got returned. Here are my
recommendations for good Sci Fi books:
Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy is great - even though they was
written years ago - they are Sci Fi classics. Also Arthur C. Clark's
Space odyssey series, 2001, 2010 and 2070 (not sure about the last
one).
Anything by Ray Bradbury - the Martian Chronicles comes to mind.

Does anyone have a really good science fiction recommendation for a
gifted 8th grader? It has to be science fiction and not fantasy. He
reads constantly and can't come up with a good choice for our book
club.
He reads adult science fiction all the time and has suggested two
titles
that I cannot condone because of sexual content. We've already read
"House of the Scorpion", "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe", "The
Eye
, the Ear and the Arm", The Ender Books. The book can be up to 350
pages-language as long as its not too extreme is fine.
