The steampunk genre of literature for teens is currently very hot! (excuse the pun) Here is the best, succinct definition I found of steampunk from Scifipedia: Steampunk is set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of HG Wells and Jules Verne. Here is a list of steampunk that we have in our Teen Loft, but would probably be enjoyed by adults as well.
