I need some decent science fiction books written for someone at a "grade 9 academic level", so big words and stuff I guess.

So far I have Neuromancer and i, Robot. One from library and I bought Neuromancer a while ago but never got to reading it, supposed to be good.

I read Ready Player One and did a report on it in grade 8 so it's out.

Also read the first Game of Thrones book.

The library has every series you can think of and I have amazon cards.

No Twilight pls.
 
George Orwell 1984
Aldous Huxley Brave New World
Arthur C. Clarke 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rendezvous With Rama
Philip K. Dick Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale
Eoin Colfer The Supernaturalist

There's a few to get you started
 
What about Ender's Game and it's series?
Inheritance series (Eragon)
Magyk
Hunger Games
Sorcerer's Apprentice
Ranger's Apprentice
 
Of what has been mentioned, 1984, Brave New World, The Supernaturalist, and I,Robot. 1894 and Brave New World are technically distopian books, and not really that science fiction esque, but they both have elements of science fiction in them.

I would also add Foundation (by the same one who wrote I,Robot), War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man (all 3 previous written by H. G. Wells), and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Dystopian fiction usually falls within the realm of sci-fi
Also I, Robot and The Supernaturalist are definitely sci-fi

1. Robots like that don't exist
2. Shooting invisible blue life-sucking aliens with weird shit also doesn't exist

I will also add
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
which is dystopic but also a good read
 
1) 1984 by George Orwell

2) Animal farm by George Orwell

3) The time machine, H.G. Wells

4) The invisible man, H.G. Wells

5) The Tommyknockers, Stephen King

6) The stand, Stephen King

I'll make a more solid list later on

I agree they are interchangeable genre's for the most part, some other people might be a bit more picky though. And having read every book you've listed there, I definitely agree I,Robot and the Supernaturalist are. Lots of good books in this thread.
 
I would like to suggest some of these as well:

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne

Around The World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne

A Journey to the Center of The Earth by Jules Verne

Kenobi by John Jackson Miller

The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau

Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein

The Lord of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
