4 stars for Salvage by Alexandra Duncan.
Salvage is a Young Adult Sci-Fic fantasy story with a feminist twist that explores the themes of oppression, rebellion, choice and family ties.
Ava, a teenage girl living aboard the male-dominated, conservative deep space merchant ship Parastrata, faces betrayal, banishment, and death. Not only is Ava illiterate, she lives in a shadow of a life and her future is not her own to fashion. Worst of all, her blood family is a tangle of secrets in which Ava is determined to unravel.
I enjoy reading this smooth flowing debut novel with riveting characters. Impressive pragmatic ending too.

Ava, a teenage girl living aboard the male-dominated, conservative deep space merchant ship Parastrata, faces betrayal, banishment, and death. Taking her fate into her own hands, she flees to the Gyre, a floating continent of garbage and scrap in the Pacific Ocean.
This is a sweeping and harrowing novel about a girl who can't read or write or even withstand the forces of gravity. What choices will she make? How will she build a future on an earth ravaged by climate change?
