A review by infosifter
PartnerShip by Anne McCaffrey

4.0

McCaffrey was writing YA before it was all the rage, which means I actually got to discover it while I was still the target audience. :-) this series revolves around the idea that if someone would be born with birth defects too severe to allow them to live, they could be placed in a protective shell, and then they could use their mind to power a spaceship.
