I’m not sure I’d say this was my favorite Paula Danziger book–it’s so hard to choose–but it’s one I read and re-read voraciously, and when I mention it to others in my general cohort, they know and love it, too. Will Aurora learn to be part of her community and family, and relinquish her self-appointed role as center of the universe? Nothing is like it used to be, and she misses her old life terribly. She has to socialize with everyone in the small colony, adult and child, drippy and interesting folk alike. On the Moon.įorced by her parents to try lunar life for at least one year before they’ll reconsider letting her return to earth to live with her grandparents, Aurora’s perfect life is now upside down. And then her parents tell her that they’re joining an experimental colony for five years. Oh, she has some small complaints–not enough allowance, her parents won’t let her get an eyelash transplant, and an annoying little sister named Starr–but she’s also part of the coolest clique in school, the Turnips, she’s a good student with a chance of being in some real high school plays now, and her longtime crush Matthew is reciprocating. Synopsis & Review: Aurora Williams is thirteen and perfectly happy with her life. This Place Has No Atmosphere by Paula Danziger
