4.0

Rae is growing up with a hard life on a barren moon near the planet that her grandparents were trying to get to before their spaceship crashed 30 years before. The humans who survived have been scraping by, under constant threat from the native people, who they call "Cheese." Rae's own mother was killed by them and her cousin abducted. Everything changes the day Rae and her younger sister are captured. Suddenly, everything she thought she knew about this moon and its inhabitants is turned on its ear. This book is not only an exciting adventure story, but contains interesting food for thought on feminism, religious beliefs, and treatment of native people. Highly recommended for grades 5 & up.
