Suggestions for Adolescent Novel(las)?

2
votes

Hi team,

Can I please get suggestions for intermediate-level (adolescent/teen) science fiction novels / novellas? I remember the old Goosebumps books (Escalofrios) but they are Fantasy. I'm wondering if anyone has translated any Douglas Adams, Arthur C. Clarke or Isaac Asimov. However those are probably beyond my level.

I'd ask my wife (Mexican) but she hates sci-fi haha

This actually looks promising but I have a feeling it's for advanced / native speakers: Espanol Free eBooks

These authors you mention along with Ray Bradbury and A E Van Vogt are among my favorites. I had never thought about reading these in Spanish, but I'll do a Google search and see what I can find.

It might be a lot quicker than waiting for an answer here, but you can't tell. There might just be someone on this site that knows.

Thanks in advance. The problem is that I know how to find many Spanish eBooks online for sci-fi, I don't know any that are at a teenager level :) - TryNewLangs77, Nov 10, 2016
Don't underestimate yourself. I was reading everything from Shakespeare in the original to Cervantes (the Spanish Shakespeare) when I was 13. Go ahead and stretch yourself and read on the adult level. - Daniela2041, Nov 11, 2016
You'll develop a "killer" vocabulary that way. :) - Daniela2041, Nov 11, 2016
Daniela2041 I think that is good advice. I have been reading CNN Espanol and various other newspapers. I keep Google Translate open in another tab and then I just translate whatever word that I don't understand. - TryNewLangs77, Nov 12, 2016

I believe I have answered my own question: Amazon filtered search
