Why read it?
1 author picked Liberty's Daughter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a YA with a unique perspective. The teenage protagonist lives on a “seastead,” which is, frankly, a seriously wacko idea some libertarians have… ummm… floated (sorry, couldn’t resist) for creating their own independent countries in international waters.

From Ctein's list on science fiction novels with protagonists in peril.
