Anna Creech, August 29, 2007 (view all comments by Anna Creech)
This is a young adult science fiction novel that was originally published in 1970 and has since been updated and republished. According the author's note, the main things that were changed were references to computer technology and specifics about the Martian landscape. More significantly, the author writes that she altered aspects of the women's perspectives on careers and relationships to reflect more modern attitudes.

The author dwells less on the technology and shiny gadgetry of space travel and planetary colonization, and more on the human aspect thereof. This results in a very accessible story for readers who are interested in space colonization as well as readers who enjoy stories about personal growth and relationships. Science fiction is often seen as being only for boys, although that attitude is changing, and this book would likely be well received by both young men and women.
