Elara is excited but also a little nervous about heading back to school and seeing all of her friends. Everyone else was able to stay connected online over the summer, but her family lives too far out for communications to get through. So when she arrives at school she is super shocked to find that the school is now on a spaceship and run entirely by robots instead of adults and there are new classes on war strategies and such. Evidently a man called the Watchman has taken over the ruling body of the universes, convinced everyone that he has a safer way to raise the youth, and taken over education. Everyone keeps acting like everything is fine and dandy, but Elara knows something is deeply wrong. Why is everyone acting so strange? I like that these Project Terra adventures are really smart scifi adventures. There's some solid science principles involved as the basis of lots of the tech and plot points. (There's also a bit of a convoluted timetravel plot line involved that had some question marks, but the author figures out ways to cover the potential pitfalls of that mostly convincingly.) Light dystopia fans will get into the plot line and how Elara has to save herself and her friends from the new system in charge of the school. It looks ok on the surface but the farther you get into the book the more messed up it shows itself to be. I liked that Elara is learning about how to lead without being bossy and to listen to others in this one. There are quite a few other fictional characters I can think of who'd benefit from those lessons and I hope that readers can learn these lessons the easy way through Elara's adventures. I have several students eagerly awaiting this now that I'm done with it. The first book has been decently popular. Recommended to smart scifi fans, boarding school story fans, safe dystopia fans, and timetravel fans. Notes on content: No language issues. No sexual content. Flashbacks of planet-wide destruction, and some perilous situations faced but no one gets really seriously hurt.
