Summary: I LOVED this book!!!
Comment: This is one of the BEST books I ever read. It's about a girl named Olwen who has been stranded on a planet far from the earth when her parents died. Her only companions are Guardian, a humanoid robot, Hobbit, her pet "dog", and the small creatures of the planet. Olwen has never come into contact with another human for at least 10 years, and when the space shuttle lands on her planet, conflicts arise. In one of the new settlers to the planet, Olwen finds love and companionship. This is a really heart wrenching book that you won't be able to put down. You'll finish it in one sitting--I know I did.

Summary: There is an Isis Trillogy...I want the rest of themIN PRINT!
Comment: This is a fabulous book, the descriptions are lovely. I just read it last night (and it was beautiful and sad and amazing) and considered scrapping half of my college syllabus and sharing it with my students (I still might.) There is mention of an Isis Trillogy...I hope they reprint the rest of them soon!

Summary: A thrilling sci-fi book with a shocking twist!
Comment: Olwen lives with her Guardian on the deserted planet Isis. She takes care of a light that is used to transmit messages to the setllers on Earth telling them when it is safe to move to Isis. When the day of the settlers arrives, Olwen is angry because she wants to keep her lovely plant to herself. But then she falls in love withh Mark, one the settlers. However, when Mark sees her without the special suit she wears to protect herself from the sttlers, he has second thoughts about her. Olwen doesn't understand why he suddenly no longer cares for her.
I liked this book because it shocked me. I was totally unprepared for the twist that came in the middle of the book. The ending was sad, though, so I didn't enjoy it as much
