![]() ![]() ![]() "Poddy" gets to travel the solar system with her smaller brother Clarke and her old uncle Tom - they get into all kinds of trouble and adventure. Podkayne of Mars is a juvenile or "young adult" story about a 16 year old mars girl (she's not a martian - there's a race of native martians that's called martians - therefore humans on mars is not called martians). I've always had strange feelings about Heinlein - I love most of his stories, but almost all of them leave me with a strange taste in my mouth, maybe it's because I agree with a lot of the opinions that are to be found in his stories, but at the same time I hate some of them (his ideas about women and children for example). One that I for some strange reason hadn't read before. One of the good old stories from the golden age of SF. Podkayne of Mars is a science fiction novel by the legendary author Robert A Heinlein. ![]()
