  • the
  • story
  • of
  • a
  • young

  • inter-planetary
  • adventures
  • with
  • her
  • uncle
  • and
  • her
  • genius
  • brother.Told

  • story
  • details
  • her
  • travel
  • to
  • Earth
  • with
  • her
  • two
  • companions.
  • Podkayne
  • has
  • very
  • definite
  • plans
  • on
  • what
  • to
  • do
  • and
  • how
  • to
  • do
  • it,
  • but
  • not
  • everything
  • is
  • as
  • it
  • seems.
  • She
  • is
  • suddenly
  • thrust
  • into
  • the
  • middle
  • of
  • life
  • and
  • death

  • when
  • the
  • liner

  • are
  • travelling
  • on
  • makes
  • a
  • stop
  • at
  • Venus.The
  • original
  • publisher
  • of
  • this
  • book
  • asked
  • Heinlein
  • to
  • change
  • the
  • controversial
  • ending,
  • which
  • Heinlein
  • did
  • extremely
  • reluctantly.
  • He
  • felt
  • the
  • original
  • ending
  • much

  • suited
  • the
  • story
  • line
  • and
  • was
  • never
  • satisfied
  • with
  • the
  • modified
  • 'safer
  • '
  • ending.
  • This

  • restores
  • the
  • book
  • to
  • how
  • Heinlein
  • originally
  • wrote
  • it.
  • It
  • also
  • includes
  • a
  • letter
  • to
  • his
  • agent,
  • decrying
  • the
  • changes
  • asked
  • for
  • by
  • his
  • original publisher.
