Martians Abroad
Martians Abroad | Carrie Vaughn
7 posts | 9 read | 9 to read
Well-known for her bestselling series Kitty Norville, Carrie Vaughn moves to science fiction with Martians Abroad, a novel with great crossover appeal. Polly Newton has one single-minded dream, to be a starship pilot and travel the galaxy. Her mother, the Director of the Mars Colony, derails Polly's plans when she sends Polly and her genius twin brother, Charles, to Galileo Academy on Earth. Homesick and cut off from her plans for her future, Polly cannot seem to fit into life on Earth. Strange, unexplained, dangerous coincidences centered on their high-profile classmates begin piling up. Charles may be right there's more going on than would appear, and the stakes are high. With the help of Charles, Polly is determined to find the truth, no matter the cost."

It hit the spot as a bedtime read: interesting enough that I wanted to keep reading; not so interesting that I lost sleep

Though I found this in general sci-fi, it definitely feels like a ya story. Teen from a Mars colony with dreams of becoming a pilot navigates the murky waters of an Earth boarding school. A lot of fun but something was missing. I never found myself worried for any of the characters. I'd still like to read more stories about these characters and more in this world. #scifi #ya #yascifi #sfff

Surprised, but I did not love this. It was okay and a fast read, but ehhh.

This is very easy to read and goes by fast, but I'm not convinced by the main character. I'm just not feeling much from her, and I'm waiting for more of a plot to kick in.

I have WAY too many things to say about this than I have space for here -- but you should get your hands on this optimistic SF adventure (featuring my yet-to-be-born my great-great-ellipses-great-granddaughter). My fairly complete thoughts are here: http://wp.me/p3z9AH-2EB

I love sci-fi set in our own solar system because I can believe we'll be puttering around in it someday. This is brand new from Carrie Vaughn, out today, about a couple of Martian kids sent to boarding school on Earth. Shenanigans ensue.

BarracudaB Well written view of the mix of teenage angst and independence acquired growing up in a Mars colony. 7y
