Theo Waitley has lived all her young life on Delgado, a Safe World that is home to one of the galaxy's premier institutions of higher learning. Both Theo's mother, Kamele, and Kamele's onagrata Jen Sar Kiladi, are professors at the university, and they all live comfortably together, just like they have for all of Theo's life, in Jen Sar's house at the outskirts of town.

Suddenly, though, Theo's life changes. Kamele leaves Jen Sar and moves herself and Theo back into faculty housing, which is not what Theo is used to. Once settled back inside the Wall, Kamele becomes embroiled in faculty politics, and is appointed sub-chair of her department. Meanwhile, Theo who has a notation in her file indicating that she is "physically challenged," has a series of misadventures, including pulling her best friend down on the belt-ride to class, and hurting a teammate during a scavage game.

Wonderful coming of age story

I really enjoyed this book a lot, to be honest in the start I didn't think I would, it's a coming of age story featuring a young girl, the characters felt stiff and weird in the start, and it was just kind of cold and a weird setting.

But it really grew on me we see how family bonds prevail, and the adventures she's going on, the good and not so good people they meet as they go along.

Yeah, the character is a bit of a Mary Sue, they can do everything and always does well more or less, but it's just a really fun book that made me feel good, and I really loved it.
