Excellent!

I've read a lot of Monica Hughes, and this one, in my opinion, of her better books, (though they're all good). The characters, and whole idea are so thrilling, I finished it in two days. Who ever doesn't like this book should be ashamed. It's just... the best. Well, no I take that back. But really, really close. It portrays a possible future of a young girl, who really hates the way of life she's forced to live. So in an act to prove herself that backfires, she gets lost, or more like left behind. But then she's found, and things really start to cook up. She has never met the people who found her. They think they know her. She knows better, but soon living with them, and feeling their love seems much more inviting than her past life. I'll never cease to love this book.
