Weird Science Fantasy
March 4th, 2010
I can’t remember the title of this book. Can you?
It’s a juvenile fantasy/science fiction novel about two to four kids who live in a weird random house or mansion. There is a moat with alligators? around their house.
They have had many different nannies who typically run away after a short period of time. One nanny may have been eaten by the alligators.
One of the children has a pet rat? who had babies. Somehow they (the rat’s babies) got trapped in the computer or on the internet (zapped into cyberspace or something like that).
I began reading this book but got busy and never finished. Doesn’t anyone have any clue what book it was?
Thanks!
I believe the parents are missing (or the dad is, I don’t recall the mom)…
Z ~ Yes, that’s it!!! Thank you!
Sounds like ‘Pure Dead Magic’ by Debi Gliori. Check out this review: http://www.kidsreads.com/reviews/0375814108.asp

Science Fantasy $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Science fantasy is a mixed genre within speculative fiction drawing elements from both science fiction and fantasy. A definition, offered by Rod Serling, is that science fiction makes the implausible possible, while science fantasy makes the impossible plausible. The meaning is that science fiction describes unlikely things that could possibly take place in the real world under certain conditions, while science fantasy gives a veneer of realism to things that simply could not happen in the real world under any circumstances. Another interpretation is that science fiction does not permit the existence of supernatural elements; science fantasy does. Even the usage of this definition is difficult, however, as some science fiction makes use of apparently supernatural elements such as telepathy. This is an absurd distinction. What is the point of trying to pigeonhole stories into increasingly narrow categories? It doesnt help you understand or appreciate these stories any better.

Shadowrun Between Science Fiction and Fantasy $96.59 The pieces of the Shadowrun novel series present an interesting problem. Should they be categorized as Science Fiction or Fantasy novels? In order to answer this question we have to know exactly what these two genres represent. Unfortunately their definition is not at all unified. The only thing that we can say for sure is that they do exist. The countless books belonging to either of these genres are proof of that. And still, there is much confusion about them. This is why I feel the need to examine both genres and dispel some of the misunderstandings. In this book I will present the history, criticism and characteristics of Science Fiction and Fantasy. So the majority of my book is not about Shadowrun, but the two important genres. In the second part of my book I present and analyze the Shadowrun series through one of the novels, in order to locate it within the genres and further clarifying the differences between Science Fiction and Fantasy. I recommend this book not just for Shadowrun, Sf and Fantasy fans, but anyone who would like to know more about these genres.
