"Pattie and her family are among the last refugees to flee a dying Earth in an old spaceship. And when the group finally lands on the distant planet which is to be their new home, it would seem that the four-year journey has been a success. But as they begin to settle this shining world, they discover that the colony is in serious jeopardy. With supplies dwindling, Pattie and her sister decide to take the one chance that might make life possible on Shine."

Rain's Reading Log reviewed The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh

A Great Little Spark

4 stars

Jill Paton Walsh: The Green Book (EBook, 2012, Square FIsh) 4 stars

A fantastic little story we read as a class back in 5th grade IIRC. Looking back this was probably what was one if the first sparks the started my love for Science Fiction. Its ending also contains one of my favorite story tropes when done right. Probably does not set the world on first as a whole but it made an impact on me as a child when no other book quite did at that age to the point to where I can still remember it.
