Engdahl, Sylvia Louise

YA
Melinda Ashley has no intention of leaving Earth, until her father arranges for her to accompany him on a business trip to Mars. There, Melinda gains a more mature understanding of love and courage based on inner confidence. Deftly blending scientific possibility, suspense, and youthful emotion in this first-person narrative, Engdahl projects a plausible picture of the future. An afterword is included.

Billed as a companion novel to Enchantress from the Stars, this thought-provoking science fiction title is an altogether darker and more disturbing book. Elana is sent to observe a planet that is about to either explore and colonize space or destroy itself. Engdahl poses questions about the nature of "progress" and the dangers of well-intentioned intervention that will amply reward the careful reader.
