A beloved book from one of the greatest writers of science fiction ever, restored with its original ending that was changed by the original publisher.The Podkayne of Mars follows a teenage girl named Podkayne Poddy Fries and her younger brother, Clark, who leave their home on Mars to take a trip on a spaceliner to visit Earth, accompanied by their greatuncle. Podkayne is a bright, adventurous sixteenyearold whose ambition is to become the first woman deepspace pilot.The trip suddenly becomes extremely dangerous when they take an unexpected detour to Venus, and she gets involved in a volatile diplomatic and political situation involving her uncle.The book is a firstperson narrative consisting of the diary of Podkayne Fries, a 15yearold (Earth years) girl living on Mars with her parents and 11yearold brother Clark1.The book explores themes such as gender roles, family relationships, and politics and has been noted that Heinleins portrayal of Podkayne as a strongwilled and independent young woman was ahead of its time.Heinlein was extremely unhappy with the change in the ending the publisher insisted upon when it was first published. This edition restores the original ending Heinlein wanted.
