Earthborn
Sylvia Waugh. Delacorte Press Books for Young Readers, $15.95 (288pp) ISBN 978-0-385-72964-2
Like its predecessor, Space Race, Sylvia Waugh's whimsical yet thought-provoking fantasy Earthborn chronicles the doings of visitors from the enlightened planet Ormingat. Nesta Gwynn, a 12-year-old living in northern England, has grown up believing her parents are from Boston, but after the publicity surrounding the disappearance of a father and son (the protagonists of Space Race), she learns the truth that the Gwynns came from Ormingat and that she, Nesta, is destined to return with them. Can she manage to stay on Earth?
