Summary: The Place Does Not Have Atmosphere but The Book Does!
Review: If you think your life couldn't get any worse, you should share a day in the life of Aurora Williams. The book This Place Has No Atmosphere by Paula Danziger is a classic. In the year 2057, 14-year old Aurora and her friends do all the regular teenage activities. They get in trouble, buy CD's, and watch models in mood clothes. One day Aurora's life is shattered with news from her mother that she and her family are moving to the Moon. Aurora prepares for the worst and the beginning of a new life on the Moon. After about a year on the moon, Aurora's fears have gradually disappeared as she makes new friends, and found the finer things on the moon. Danziger surely has pointed out every teens nightmare in this science fiction-comedy. It sure will make children and adults laugh from years 2000 to 2060!

Summary: Easy, fun, bok that you can catch on to , but kind of tesion
Review: She became a BARFBURGER at the end of the book! She is self centered but it was fun to compare it to the colonies we are learning about in school
Rating: 
Summary: Let's send this one to the automatic trashcan
Review: The big conflict in this book is that her nail polish clasheswith her eye shadow. Not only is it shallow, self-centered, andself-obsessed, but every single futuristic item is taken directly from books that're better than this one. I can tell you, there's nothing but air in that head of hers, and it quickly vanishes by the end of the book...

Summary: I give this book 2 thumbs up!!!
Review: The year is 2057. The mall has condos, the school is fueled by garbage, and people take ESP at school. Fifteen-year-old Aurora Williams has a perfect life. She is part of a popular group named the Turnips, she is going out with the soon to be class president, and her best friend, Juna, is a celebrity. But the catch to her so-called perfect life is that her parents don't care about fashion, and even sometimes they wear their work clothes in public. They are really embarrasing. Then, to make matters worse, they decide to live on the moon! Aurora is shocked! She will have to leave the Turnips, Juna, and her boyfriend! On the moon, Aurora makes new friends, who are dorky, and meets new people. It is just not the same as earth. She hates the moon until one day she meets a guy named Hal. Hal really cares about Aurora, and teaches her to realize that the moon is not so bad. This Place Has No Atmosphere is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Taking place in the future, it really gets you thinking. Paula Danziger writes about the future so realistically, it seems like it just may be that way in the year 2057. She also makes the character os Aurora so much like a real teenager. People who like science fiction, and about the future will really love this book.

Summary: This book is just great
Review: The year is 2057. The mall has condos, the school is fueled by garbage, and people take ESP at school. Fourteen-year-old Aurora Williams has a perfect life. She is part of a popular group named the Turnips, she is going out with the soon to be class president, and her best friend, Juna, is a celebrity. But the catch to her so-called perfect life is that her parents don't care about fashion, and even sometimes they wear their work clothes in public. They are really embarrassing. Then, to make matters worse, they decide to live on the moon! Aurora is shocked! She will have to leave the Turnips, Juna, and her boyfriend! On the moon, Aurora makes new friends, who are well let's just say not her type, and meets new people. It is just not the same as earth. She hates the moon until one day she meets a guy named Hal. Hal really cares about Aurora, and teaches her to realize that the moon is not so bad. Together Hal and Aurora put together a play since she likes to act and since they have to do a project. The play was called "Little House on the Prairie"....END

Summary: Back to the Future
Review: This book is about a teenager in the year 2057 name Aurora whose life on Earth is a teenage dream. Unfortunately, she has to leave it all behind to be with her parents and bratty brother on the moon; a change Aurora has to learn to cope with, lunar dust and all.It's been so long since I last read this book. I think I was thirteen and Amazon hadn't been invented yet (I'm now 26, by the way, and I already know of one mall that has condos built over it), but I haven't forgotten about it at all. I loved it then and I still love it now. The plot, puns and characters have stayed with me and all I could say is that a book that stays with you for this long with such fond memories deserves a five all the way. Aurora is a wonderful character; imperfect yet lovable (when she isn't whining) and the surrounding cast bring out the best and worse in her. The setting of the story makes for a refreshing take for an otherwise uninteresting theme, yet we are not made to forget that in spite of the fast-paced developments in technology, we remain simply human, folks who eat the batch of brownies grandma sent, down to the last crumb (biggest thumb rules!) and teens who pop pimples in spite of clearasil and parents who embarrass their children. Book best served for tweens.
