hammard's review
2.0
The beginning and end sections were written in the 1950s, with two middle adventures published in the 1980s, all fixed up into a single story. I note this because it seems like it would have been quite original at the time but comes across as quite limited and dated today.
Lizzie Lee is from a mining planet (i.e. read working class background) who gets a scholarship to Earth university and isn't happy about it. Along the way she finds herself involved in a lot of surprising adventures. It is readable enough but compared to the sophistication of YA stories today it feels very basic.
