Delacorte Press, 2018. 513 pgs. Young Adult
When a long-term attack against her world by the alien Krell escalates, Spensa's dream of becoming a pilot may come true, despite her deceased father being labeled a deserter.
I know Brandon Sanderson mostly for his adult fantasy novels but I really enjoyed this young adult science fiction book. Instead of magical powers, this book has aliens and a talking space ship. Spensa is a strong female character, who has every reason to give up, but doesn't.
