Barnes in full-out Heinlein juvenile mode -- what they call Young Adult now. Think Podkayne of Mars and Have Spacesuit, Will Travel. This may help you accept the fact that every kid in this story appears to be a genius in all the sciences (hard and soft) plus languages and perhaps the fine arts, though that seems more specific to individuals. What starts out appearing to be a "new kid comes to town and changes that old gang of mine" turns into a more SFnal study of socio-cognitive engineering. Unlike Heinlein, none of the characters, no matter how smart, turn out to know everything and be always right. On the other hand, those are my least favorite Heinlein juveniles and it remains a mystery to me why good SF writers and very smart fans still pay homage to them. A solid character focused Science Fiction novel, set near future, post apocalypse. Narrated by Melpomene, a 13 year old girl living in an Industrial spacecraft being constructed from a hollowed out asteroid. The Narrator is believable, and the novel explores her interactions with her peers, and the few adults aboard. The book is pitched initially as an assignment set for Melpomene to explain to teens on earth what it's like living in the asteroid ship. 3.75 Stars.

For the last thirty years, the survivors of the collapse has tried to exist Earthside. Space colonies like the Flying Duthman offer the last and best hope for the mother planet's future; the adolescents on board the Dutchman really are humanity's last hope, but knowing is a heavy burden - especially for Mel who has plans of her own.

Mel is a logical, empathic teenager, and I really liked her. When an immigrant from Earth joins her class, she tries to help him integrate. She is dumbfounded by the social changes he brings about, and hurt by her friends' new behavior. Barnes has written a book that captures the awkward stage of coming of age both for humans and new societies. It's a very interesting novel, and if it weren't for the last few chapters (which dribble on to no purpose), I would have rated this far higher. ( )
