Brigid Lowry and Sam Field: Space Camp

By MARGIE THOMSON

It's 2373 and human colonisation of space is well under way. Teenagers are still teenagers though, and villains still villains, whether they are human or Trogladillians. A group of gifted teenagers are at Space Camp on the planet Phoenixia when it becomes clear that evil forces are at work ... This is among the best kids' books by a local author I've read. Consistent voice, lively and superbly imagined from the social/political landscape to the cool gadgetry these kids use. Lots of fun, for kids aged around 14.
