-Some books I have read and enjoyed as an adult are
the "Jupiter novels" the ones we own are listed below.
They all involve middle to high school age kids,
hard science and life skills problems to be solved, an
upbeat ending and contain little sex or violence. I
think the idea was to hark back to early Heinlein.
They not too long and very good reading.
The one I know about are:
Sheffield, Charles: The cyborg from earth
The billion dollar boy
Putting up roots
Higher education
Hogan, James Outward bound
Pournelle, Jerry Starswarm
