Anywhere, Anywhen : Stories of Tomorrow - Hardcover
Synopsis
This anthology of stories about the future, edited by Sylvia Engdahl, is intended for teens who don't ordinarily read science fiction rather than for SF fans, and is not meant to be an introduction to that genre. It focuses on the timeless aspects of being human, and aims to suggest ideas about the future in a way that those who prefer real-life settings to strange, "far-out" ones will enjoy. Contributors include Sylvia Engdahl, Shirley Rousseau Murphy, Carol Farley, Rick Roberson, Robert Pierik, and Mildred Butler, all of whom are established authors of children's or Young Adult fiction.
The Kindle edition (but not the hardcover edition) contains two stories from Engdahl and Roberson's previous anthology "Universe Ahead," one of which is by Engdahl, plus a previously-unpublished story by Engdahl.

Review
"For nonfans as well as readers of science fiction. . . . Engdahl, writing in collaboration with Mildred Butler, explores an intriguing use of time travel." --ALA Booklist
"The stories deal with tomorrow, but also with people." --The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon
"An interesting look at what it might mean to grow up in tomorrow's world." --Children's Books of the Year, Child Study Press, New York
"Roberson's quick moving, easy style, the nicely delineated characters, and the provocative themes make 'The Astoria Incident' a success." --Delap's F & SF Review
"Certainly one of the better stories in the collection, 'The Mooncup' by Shirley Rousseau Murphy, describes the meeting of two young people from different planets and cultures who are both gifted with the power of thought transmission." --The World of Children's Books, University of Alberta
