I've read a lot of Monica Hughes, and this one, in my opinion, of her better books, (though they're all good). The characters, and whole idea are so thrilling, I finished it in two days. Who ever doesn't like this book should be ashamed. It's just... the best. Well, no I take that back. But really, really close. It portrays a possible future of a young girl, who really hates the way of life she's forced to live. So in an act to prove herself that backfires, she gets lost, or more like left behind. But then she's found, and things really start to cook up. She has never met the people who found her. They think they know her. She knows better, but soon living with them, and feeling their love seems much more inviting than her past life. I'll never cease to love this book.

I thought this book was okay. It deffinitly wasn't the best book I ever read. It got off to a very boring beginning and I had a hard time getting past the first two chapters. Once it gets going though, it becomes much more interesting.

Lois Prochaska; This book was like none I'd ever read before. I related to the main character in the way that she always wanted to prove people wrong when they said she couldn't do something, but, also like me, it got her in trouble sometimes. However, I have my own idea about how things happened and will happen in the future, and mine didn't quite fit the ideas in this book, but I think it's interesting to learn other peoples' theories and such.
