The book called "Shipborn" was written by Pamela Freeman.
This book is about two young children named Katie and Sam. Katie and Sam were born on a space ship. They have never seen earth before and their dream is to live there. But there seems no hope that they will ever get there.

The author has done a good job writing this book but you really need to be a space lover to really enjoy it. I didn't feel that the author gave a very good description of the characters so I didn't really didn't feel like I knew them. Also I found it easy to guess what will happen next.

I probably wouldn't recommend this book for younger readers but maybe for people between the age of 11 to 16.

I will give this book a rating of 6 out of 10 as I didn't really enjoy it as much as I could of if it had better descriptions of people, and there was a few more surprises.
