What is speculative fiction?

We use this quote from kboard author William D. Richards to define a big umbrella: an all-encompassing genre created to describe stories of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and other stories that have an element of "What if..." in them. A story in speculative fiction is one that adds an element of the unreal, or asks, what would become of our society if history took a different direction at some important event? Fiction with a little something extra thrown in.

Like, if a frog, has wings, could it fly?

Slog is Speculative Fiction for Six and Seven year old children. ;)

Soon available as an audiobook, in the UK

Any guesses how many pounds will Audible stick you for a story about a five ounce frog? :'(
