Hadrian's Flight
Hadrian Jin. Skyguard. Refugee. Twelve times a day, this sixteen-year-old proprietor of Luna City's best orn-suit shop fits the wings, and jumps out into the open air to soar with the grace of an eagle. For forty dollars an hour, he can teach any groundhog how to fly bird-fashion in the moon's low gravity. But when the tramp of military boots on the road to his home forces him to flee, he finds himself adrift between planets, on the run from government agents, without hope of home. Out of his depth and thrust into danger for which he's ill-prepared, Hadrian must learn the true reason for his exile, and finally spread his own wings...

I bought this for my sons, and they absolutely loved it! Finding books that matched their reading levels with the maturity was hard, and I'm happy to say that this one hit the mark. The author wrote this along the lines of Heinlein's Juveniles, so it's worth reading for the nostalgia factor alone!

Heinlein-esque!
This book could easily fit in a Heinlein universe as a juvenile right between "The Menace From Earth" and "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress". And the author carries off the Heinlein-esque coming of age story.
I enjoyed this immensely, and I look forward to more from this author.
