Read..my child..Read

Yesterday's Son by A C Crispin

My daughter, a 14 year old, read this book for extra credit at school. Oh, true, I didn't give her a choice of what to read. To make sure she did the report correctly I wanted her to read a book I was famliar with...now, I haven't read this book in many many years..but I still had it on my shelf.

So I gave it to her..she read it...and she loved it....

This is the one where Spock's son becomes like Mel Gibson in Braveheart, but before Braveheart...really well done..and would have been great for a movie or, ta da, as an episode of the long wished for "Anthology" TV show the some of us yearn for....

Have any of you ever had your child read a star trek book, and they liked it???

Love that picture!

Would a Seventeen year old brother count for this as he read Chris' Myrd Universe story after I suggested it to him and all my Post Nem books are now on his desk awaiting to be read!

Sure. Dimesday, it counts..getting a 17 year old to read is a miracle upon it self!!!

(love that pic above as well Dayton)

Some might call this brain-washing. I prefer to think of it as "proper mental conditioning".

Cute kids. Where'd you buy them?

I had no idea that they had trek books for children.

I need to find out where to buy that so I can indoctrinate my future children while they are young! And before my wife has a chance to convince them to hate trek!

 

[Dayton Ward]

They haven't had Trek books for children for a great many years. The closest thing in recent years was Pocket's Starfleet Academy and DS9 adventures of Jake and Nog from about a decade ago (or longer....jeesh. Really?).

I would love to see somebody take a shot at creating new Trek stuff for kids.

^ It's a few months old, now. I need to come up with something new.

 

[JAG]

Its gotta be Spock must Die!

 

[Allyn Gibson]

Surely they've moved on to reading The Death Wave by now, Dayton.

 

[Dayton Ward]

^ I save that for forced reading during time-outs.

What's the number for KC Child Protective Services?

 

[Mistral]

Near as I can tell: 785-229-8600.

 

[Dayton Ward]

Make sure you spell my name right....most boneheads always forget the "y."




(Now waits for some internet douchebag to actually try this, even though the phone number is for an area not even close to where I live )

 

[Corran Horn]

They never let us do book reports on numbered books when I was in school.

I guess that's one plus for the decision to move away from the numbering.

 

[Dayton Ward]

^ That was the plan all along!

We have The Worlds of the Federation (Shane Johnson) from waaay back in 1989. My younger kids don't really like anything except the full color section in the center, but my eleven year old enjoys reading through it. It even has a preface from Lt. Commander Data

My kids would all enjoy a Star Trek comic book. Those would be fun.
