Rite of Passage

In 2198, one hundred and fifty years after the desperate wars that destroyed an overpopulated Earth, humanity lives precariously on a hundred hastily-established colony worlds and in the seven giant Ships that once ferried people to the stars. Mia Haveroâ€™s Ship is a small, closed society. It tests its children by casting them out to live or die in a month of Trial in the hostile wilds of a colony planet. Miaâ€™s fourteenth birthday and accompanying Trial are fast approaching; in the meantime she must learn not only the skills that will keep her alive but the deeper courage to face herself and her world.

Originally published in 1968, Alexei Panshinâ€™s Nebula Award-winning classic has lost none of its relevance, with its keen exploration of societal stagnation and the resilience of youth.

â€œTeens who love The Hunger Games would probably really like Alexei Panshinâ€™s Rite of Passage.â€â€“Carrie Vaughn, author of the Kitty Norville series

â€œIntensely believable, movingly personalized story . . . so perfectly done that one feels a real shock as one realizes that Panshin after all has never been a girl growing up aboard a hollowed-out planetoid.â€â€”Algis Budrys in Galaxy Magazine
