Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Star Trek Generations
John Vornholt · 1994
62/100
👎 Skip It
Vornholt's condensed novelization faithfully brings the 1994 film to grades 4-6 in a brisk 115-128 pages, and it is a clean, well-handled adaptation with the key emotional beats intact. The ceiling is low by design though — readers who know the film get a thin echo, and readers who do not are missing too much context for the story to fully land.
