"Podkayne's own fresh self is quite enough to make a book. Add the extraordinary character of her precocious and beyond- good-and-evil younger brother and Heinlein's inimitable skill at unobtrusive exposition of provocative ideas, and you have a story to delight!" New York Herald Tribune

This is classic Heinlein - great read! I first read this when I was in high school, and have read it again and again!

This 1963 sf adventure with a female protagonist features Podkayne Fries, who just wants to be a starship pilot. Her family's power, however, makes her a political target.

A true classic from RAH, written as a "juvenile" book but is a good read for anyone.

Juvenile fiction by Robert A. Heinlein, "the father of science fiction". This is the story of a teenage girl who is plagued by her genius little brother. Quite amusing.
