This was the story that taught me life wasn't fair. I first read it in high school, and tore through it, completely absorbed in the story of a young stowaway who just wanted to see her brother and the intense moral dilemma she imposes upon the pilot. After I finished it, I felt numb, like somehow the world was a little less magical, less nicer than it was before. I can't speak for anyone else but because of my personal experience with this story, it remains one of my favorites to this day.

Interesting in its presentation of a moral dilemma, less so in its unnecessary emphasis on the gender of the stowaway.
