Although it has been quite a few years since I have read this book, I too found it very entertaining. I read it many times and just couldn't get a copy of it anywhere new until amazon.com. It is a good book for kids who are looking for a science fiction in particular. I think it might be entertaining as an adult as well. The characters were developed well and the story was fast paced. I also believe that the story is quite unique and portrays good messages.

Galvin G. Gunhold is dead. I was particularly amused by the above discription of the book, "Space Trap" by Monica Hughes. While I was young I signed this book out many times to read over and over. Along with them I also signed out stories by Gordon Kormon, who's "Bruno & Boots" books featured a fake character by the name of Galvin G. Gunhold. Anyhow.

Though, being about 6 years and many experiences later I still remember this being an excellent book for young 10-14 your old children. It features all the makings of a good science fiction adventure, robots and misunderstood aliens. A girl gets trapped on an strange world that kidnaps other alien races for Zoo's. Her brother and sister have been kidnapped as well, ans she's the only one that can get them off the planet and home again. Highly recommended!

This intellectual book is evidently juvinile fiction as it is not mentally stimulating. Also I found this book in the childrens section of my local library while I was looking up local folklore about Vlad Tepish A.K.A. Dracula. As it turned out for reasons known only to the library staff I found a complete illustrated guide to the occult on the shelf in the childrens section. As I took it off the shelf out fell SPACE TRAP. I should have immediately replaced the book, however I picked it up and promptly recieved a large paper cut.

As soon as the pain had abated I read SPACE TRAP and within 3 hours of my accident the book was back on the shelf at the librairy still awaiting the time when It can unceremoniously jump off of the shelf at an unsuspecting reader.

So For a final piece of advice. Stay away from this book! It is bad luck.
