Calypso

Suddenly displaced from her home settlement in the rowdy, desert-situated, duel-crazy Gutshot, 14-yr-old Ari Dale finds herself onboard the spaceship Calypso - a cargo ship traveling the Outer planets in search of work. Despite dealing with a mysterious crew, vengeful criminals and finally figuring out whether "she" wants to be "he", Ari is put to work on the ship and begins to understand there is more to life than what her old life in Gutshot ever had to offer her.#1 in the Calypso Series"Thomas offers a coming-of-age tale that isn't held back by standard tropes of space-based adventure...A heartening exploration of outer space and a teen's true self."- Kirkus Reviews
