Marina is ready to sacrifice herself, but she cannot; she's the only one who can land the ship. David's work is important for the betterment of mankind, plus he's got a wife at home. Zoe, on the other hand, isn't even ready to make these difficult calculations. She's a doctor — "first, do no harm" is her code, but beyond that there's "first, look for a solution." And despite every egghead on Earth telling them, there is no solution, she's determined to find one. The Accidental Stowaway is a great read for older, junior aged children. The characters are engaging and the setting may be a new world for many school-aged children to explore and learn about. It is a fast moving story which is why it is suitable for older junior aged children or could be a great read-aloud by parents to less confident children. I am really enjoying the increasing range of well written children's literature with strong female leads.

Praise for Judith Eagle: 'FABULOUS!' Emma Carroll. 'Superb storytelling' The Reader Teacher. 'If you liked Katherine Rundell, you'll love this' Lisa Thompson.I applied to the H.A.R.P. program because I thought it would be a funny story to get rejected by Hyperion, but now I realize this is one of those rare opportunities that could truly give my life meaning beyond anything I could imagine." When Patch runs up the gangway of steamship, RMS Glorious, she isn't planning to hang around. But if she leaves her hiding place the constable might catch her: sitting tight is worth the risk. Too late, she realises the ship is setting sail! Patch has become an accidental stowaway. Liverpool, 1910. The awkward 12-year-old Patch has spent her childhood being handed from one reluctant relation to another—she knows she doesn’t fit in, but she is determined to look after herself and live the life she wants. Then one day everything goes spectacularly wrong and, accused of a crime she didn’t commit, she escapes her pursuers by roller-skating up a gangplank onto an ocean liner bound for New York—only to become an accidental stowaway when it sets sail. There are criminals aboard, and one of them has spotted her; there are other stowaways, too, each with their own secrets. But there are friends to be made as well as enemies to outwit and, as Patch scurries from steerage down in the hot and dirty bowels of the ship and up to the posh suites where the ultra-rich stay, she must learn that dangerous skill: hiding in plain sight. stars. Interesting story, but but there were some things that I didn't like. Mainly - (I cannot even believe I'm writing this) SPOILER ALERT the main character's mother is a professional stowaway, and one character in the book actually calls it unironically "a career". I don't understand. So the mother rejected the responsibility of bringing up a child and instead ran away to be a professional stowaway on boats. And they even call her "brave" at some point. Isn't this - what is the buzz word of today - "problematic"? ("What does your mummy do for living?" "Oh, she is a professional cheater and liar. Isn't that exciting?")

The Accidental Stowaway delves into themes of: friendship, loss, hope and courage. I really loved how Patch's character evolved and softened throughout the story. This is a great story for feisty young females, who wish to make their mark on the world. True escapism, filled with the trials of friendships, secrets and adventure.

Now, without further insight, we don’t know how much Arctic was retooled once the trilogy concept was abandoned. But knowing that it was originally conceived to take place on Mars as a follow-up to Stowaway makes a compelling case for the fact that their mission, in some sense, does wind up being successful. Even if it sounds like they sure were gonna have a rough time when they got there.
