4.0 out of 5 stars The (Un)-Saintly Martian, 9 May 2003

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Podkayne of Mars (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the last of the Heinlein 'juveniles', the only one written with a female point- of-view character, and the only one not subject to the editorial dictates of a certain prudish editor at Scribners, though it still suffered at the hands of the editor at Putnam (more of which later).

Podkayne (named after a Martain saint, but just "Poddy" to her friends) and her younger amoral genius-level brother Clark get to take a trip to Earth with a side stop at Venus accompanied only by their retired Martian senator uncle Tom, as their parents are unexpectedly having to deal with three newly decanted babies due to a crèche mix-up. Most of the story is a detailing of the events during their journey on the spaceship and
