Review
"Combines elements of
Star Trek...with a fast moving plot."--
School Library Journal"Home is a powerful statement about discrimination and the nature of humanity in the portrait of a young woman's search for redemption."--The Transcript, Norman, Oklahoma
"Hard issues are dealt with here. The plot tells a tough story, one of betrayal, deception, and racial hatred. Its unique appeal lies in the way it addressed these issues and the youthfulness of its author."--VOYA
