Date: 2022-02-19 12:31 pm (UTC)Other things that come to mind:
Diane Duane's Young Wizards series, although it's not until book 3 that it really establishes its sci-fi footing. (There are some sentient animals.)
Gillian Rubenstein's Galax-Arena, about gymnastically gifted children kidnapped to perform in an alien arena. (No puzzles or sentient animals.)
Jane Yolen's Pit Dragon series? It's been a while since I read them so would probably suggest someone else's confirming opinion on age-appropriateness. However: definite sci-fi, gives good dragon, and I think the first book stands on its own?
