Enchantress from the Stars
"An involved and provocative science fiction story for thoughtful readers."--Booklist"Readers will find fascinating symbolism--and philosophical parallels to what they may have observed or thought. The book is completely absorbing and should have a wider appear than much science fiction." --Horn Book"A serious and thought-provoking novel. . . Combined with this is an adolescent love-story that is no romantic nonsense; it is realistic and moving. The story is full of drama and suspense. . . Other science fiction stories [for young people] recently published seem all to pale in comparison."--Times Literary Supplement,London"Not just a novel for young adults but also one of the finest sf novels ever written. . . After finishing it, you will likely find yourself disinclined for a while to pick up anything else in the genre for fear it will, as it were, taste of ashes. In sum, it is almost impossible to convey how good this book is." --InfinityPlus"So human and endearing and told so movingly by the young heroine that it all seems wholly credible.... A very exciting story of dedication and peril." --George C. Stone center for Children's Books
