Novellas are not generally my favourite reads – too often, I have just become engrossed only to find the story abruptly finishing. The other standout feature of this entertaining series is the fascinating backdrop – a ruined Earth, where buildings are lethally unstable yet packed with archaeological treasures and discoveries eagerly awaited by populations scattered across the stars.
It could so easily become tedious or petty, but never does. I had forgotten just how effective Edwards’ writing style is when depicting the alliances and frictions between a group of young teenagers.
It was a real treat to rebond with Jarra, the chirpy disaster-magnet who is the main protagonist in Edwards’ popular Earth Girl series. ◾Booklist Editors’ Choice: Books for Youth, 2013. ◾Booklist starred review for being outstanding in its genre. ◾Kirkus starred review for a book of exceptional merit. ◾Voted an American Library Association YALSA Teens' Top Ten title for 2014.
