Retrograde Orbit  (English, Paperback, Baczynski Kristyna)

At the outer edge of their solar system, on the mining planet Tisa, Flint and her mother live in the colony of Swift Springs. Displaced by a nuclear event, Flint's family had settled there two generations ago to become miners. After apprenticing at the refinery, every day for Flint is tedium - and she can't stop thinking about what life had been like at their old family home. But is the home that her family has built for her enough, or will the irradiated planet pull her away from them? By following in her family's footsteps and leaving to forge a new path, is she betraying her relatives, or honouring their legacy? Kristyna Baczinski's colourful, gorgeously drawn outer space landscapes and engaging characters tell a story of hope and possibilities in the stars.
