Comments
An interesting plot and a good read. Nice to see a straight science fiction book in this age group. I really think this book is appropriate for younger kids, easily 11. There is almost no content to warrant concern. A good, clean book. Strong female main character as well as a range of kids from diverse backgrounds.
