Between PlanetsBetween Planets by Robert A. Heinlein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This old Heinlein was surprisingly great. Perfect for a Boy's adventure between planets in the Solar System, meeting fun people (and aliens), getting waylaid in a fresh interplanetary war machine, and finding delightful ways out of the messes he finds himself.

Make no mistake--this is old SF, but it FEELS fresh enough to be marketed today to actual YA. It's wholesome, full of can-do attitude, and a lot happens in a short book. It's simply a fun, even rollicking, SF adventure. This might be one of my favorites in RAH's juveniles.




Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
