Description: While Van Dolzer presents a future fraught with militarized inequity and resource scarcity, the charming friendship formed between the two kids, based on a mutual longing for their missing parents, is the undeniable heart of the novel. Even when Jameson plans to stow away on a spacecraft to search for his dad, the novel is less futuristic adventure than more realistic story of childhood loss. In the end, Jameson, Astra, and their remaining earthbound parents emerge as a new and supportive family unit, while all hope isn't quite lost for Jameson's dad and, perhaps, humanity.
