Sometimes, life is completely unfair.
About the
Book: Spoiled teenager Jenny Halpen's parents were
against her going on a cruise, but her doting uncle didn't see it that way. He
thought it a fine graduation gift for his favorite—and only--niece.
Unfortunately,
before Jenny has a chance to enjoy the voyage, the Cassandra collides
with a meteor shower, and her escape pod is separated from the others.
Landing on
an uninhabited world might not be so bad if Jenny's pod-mates were human, but
they're not. They're poodles...all three of them...and not just your
garden-variety poodles, either. They're the telepathic royal family of Canaris,
and they're of the opinion that Jenny is now their servant, existing only to
protect and serve them.
Robinson
Crusoe had it easy!
Our
Review: This energetic Young Adult Space Fantasy, sub-titled A Teen’s
Guide to Being Spacewrecked, shows off the coming of age of a spoiled
teenager, throwing one obstacle after another in her path to survival, and
showing how she grows and matures into a responsible young adult. The dialogue
is inventive and snappy; the three dogs play their roles to a tee. Young
readers are sure to enjoy this one.
