Barbary by Vonda N. McIntyre

adventurous hopeful fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

A cute, fast read—definitely aimed at younger readers, to whom it would probably be immediately appealing (plucky orphan smuggles contraband cat onto space station; hijinks ensue). But there’s some really good science in that there fiction, and

the contact scene at the end is lovely
