When:
10:00 AM, Saturday 25 May 2019 (1 hour 30 minutes)
Where:
San Mateo Marriott - Synergy 5
How:
In the 1950's and 60's, master writers like Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein wrote outright juvenile novels alongside their adult works. Eleanor Cameron wrote the Mushroom Planet books. Walter Brooks wrote Freddy the Pig, which not only starred frankly talking animals a la Animal Farm, but included actual space aliens. John Schealer wrote about Zip-Zip the Martian. No sex, no dystopias, no sparkles, no teenage angst. Panelists discuss the shifts in genre literature for young people.
