I don't read a lot of YA books, so I found the pacing and obvious feel-good message a bit off, but I really liked this story of life on an asteroid mine. Libby is a great character; this story almost had a western feel with its frontier town and grizzled old miners. Still, it had enough SF chops for a space story.
I got a bit bogged down in the geology, but it's hard to have a mining story without a lot of rocks. All in all, a great teen/YA read.
