The Hatch by Michelle Saftich
4.0
Both Britta Tate's mom and brother, Jem, have disappeared while working for EASA, an Earth-based space program, so when they come for her, she is not impressed. Britta is a psychic, just like her mom and brother, able to see bits of the future and travel unbelievable distances through space, which makes her very valuable to those in power. After 10 years of training she is finally able to head into space, with her brother's best friend Cal, to follow in her family's footsteps and see if she can find them.
The world building and description in this book are fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed the description of Nattalia, the planet Britta travels to with many other refugees. The descriptions were clear and well thought out, without being overwhelming.
Britta, is a fiery young girl who doesn't follow the rules, but never steps so far out of them that it becomes a serious issues for her, for the most part. The development of the relationship between her and Cal was well placed and didn't derail the original story line.
Overall, this was a great book, especially for this interested in space travel, or worried about our future on this planet.
