Earth authorities have now established the first colony outside Earth on a newly discovered planet. This story is set in the future, and is a sequel to "Breakaway". It is suitable for ages 12 and above.
It's a crying shame Tearaway and its precursor Breakaway aren't more popular. I bloody loved them as a tween and my brain always makes sure i remember them! I so need a copy, which is shane it's out of print. I could've sworn there was a third in the series with a green cover, but that may have been the fangirl in me daydreaming.
