Notes for Parents edit
Reading Level: Ages 9-12This is a great start for a girl and Science Fiction - HOWEVER - there are two endings. Heinlein originally wrote one ending that the editor did not like in a juvenile book. Some editions more recently published include both endings. For early readers, stick to the older version without the original alternate ending.
