The child abuse/survival angle will strike a chord with many YA readers, and the science fiction angle is introduced so gradually it will draw in the readers who think they don't like scifi. The ending is sad, but hopeful and satisfying. I HAD to buy a copy of this book. Otherwise I was going to have to weed it from our library just so I could have it. A practice that is frowned upon. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
