While accompanying their uncle, a wily politician, on a trip from Mars to Earth, Podkayne, a 15-year old girl, and her brilliant, but pesky brother are caught in a plot to keep Uncle Tom from an important conference.
This was Heinlein's last young adult science fiction novel. "Interesting in whether to consider this one of the classic Heinlein Juvenile" series. Many reviewers list it with the juveniles and a teenager narrates it, but Heinlein himself did not regard it is a "juvenile."
Heinlein was considered the Dean of Science Fiction winning both the Nebula and Hugo awards for his creative and inspiring writing.
