Last week's poll asked for you to consider outstanding science fiction books and series written for Young Adult audiences. We know there are some amazing books out there that, while geared toward younger readers, are written so well that they appeal to adults, too. Reading your wonderful submissions was like taking a walk down memory lane!
But now, it's time to decide.
There were so many great options submitted, and while last week you were free to vote for as many as you'd like, this week, we'll ask you to narrow down your choice to one selection. Which one do you think is the very best?
*This list is made up by combining votes from this blog and our Facebook group. Further, we wanted to note that since there was a nomination for Heinlein's Juveniles as a collection, as well as several individual titles from that collection nominated, we combined them into one entry for this poll.

Not sure I would consider some of those to be YA, but definitely great books. Hard choice!
That’s what I thought as well—most of these are definitely not in the YA category.
I first read the Foundation Serries as a teenager and could not wait until the next book in the Serries came out. This is what got me hooked on SF.
Very difficult to choose. Those are all exceptional!
