Literary Fiction
by Monica Hughes · Isis series
Sixteen-year-old Olwen lives alone on planet Isis with her robot companion until Earth colonists arrive and she falls tragically in love—her true alien form hidden beneath a humanlike suit. Hughes crafts a poignant SF tragedy about isolation, transformation, and the unbridgeable gap between self and perception. A classic YA exploration of identity, belonging, and the cost of contact.
