(4) YA Despite being "Handicapped"--unable to leave Earth--Jarra (Earth Girl) is drafted to formulate a first response to alien contact. This sequel's Star Trek–ian ideals celebrate the excitement of exploration and cast a hopeful if simplistic light on sexual mores, disability politics, and youth leadership. Jarra, equal parts nerdy and nervy, runs on pure competence, making her successes all the sweeter.
