Why read it?

1 author picked Crudrat as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Crudrat is my very favorite Gail Carriger book. It has everything I look for in a space opera: a downtrodden, stubborn main fighting to survive, excellent and heartwarming sidekicks, danger, a seemingly insurmountable problem to be solved and an action-packed plot. Maura has to work incredibly hard to create her place in life and discover that she's worth something after all. It's billed as YA, but it's not an angsty teenage book. No, this works for all ages because Maura has real problems to solve, ones that were easy to emphasize with.
