In 1980 came The Keeper of the Isis Light, which launched her into world-wide fame and should be considered a modern Canadian classic. Her first science fiction novel, Crisis on Conshelf Ten, was published in 1975. She came into prominence in Canadian children’s literature with her works of science fiction beginning in the mid-1970s, a time when our literature for the young seemed caught in a barren land and when the burgeoning literature of speculative fiction had not caught the imagination of our then few writers.
The name of Monica Hughes on a title page generally signals a welcome venture into science fiction or fantasy for young readers.
