Resumen del Editor

Together with her friends, the Space Mowgli lives on the Moon, at the topmost school in the entire Solar System. She’s a fighter and a scholar, and sometimes proves to be more knowledgeable than her professors, why not with the only truly intelligent computer at her back. She can captain the space yachts, and hopes that her equation of the future would change the world. But she has enemies, the ones who had once killed her parents and won’t stop trying.

"This book altered my outlook. It was one of my favorite when I was 14."

"To say that this book filled me with vivid emotions is to say nothing. This book is a revelation, it moves your horizons unreachably far, to the point you can and should strive to reach."

"The main character, Nikki Greenwich, is very intelligent, resourceful and smart, well-educated, brave and bold; no scientific discussion is too much for her… On the other hand, she’s a normal teenager with phobias and problems, who fights for independence and disputes the others’ opinions. The girl joins a hi-end school, forges new friendships, falls in love and fights with an adult, still obscure enemy. It’s not a magic school, though, it’s all about science… One of the reasons why AstroNikki is so popular is its merge of two genres, young adult and Sci-Fi." From "Special Features of Sci-Fi for Young Adults as a Genre (Case Study: AstroNikki by Nick Gorkavyi)", Katya Borodacheva (a research works competition for high school students)

"Once I get enough sleep after the night spent reading the book, I will try to purchase it for my kids."

"The book is so emotionally charged. I just swallowed it! As for the scientific aspect, I was impressed by the scope and level of the themes covered, from physics and cosmology, natural for the genre, to sociology, history and geography."

From Livejournal Reviews

"Arina is now in the 8th grade, she finalizes the work on her invention, a rehabilitation miocostume for spine fractions. Arina draws inspiration and ideas from the works by her favorite sci-fi writers. For instance, in Nick Gorkavyi’s AstroNikki series she’s attracted by the computer that can help people. The main female protagonist has lost her parents in a catastrophe, and broke her spine. Her medullar was replaced by a computer. Arina finds the idea rather far-fetched, yet she plans to go on with her research that would help the patients with the back trauma." "Takie Dela" Magazine

"Did you ever think that entrance exams can be more thrilling than a fight with a robot??? I didn’t. And I was wrong… Could I imagine that by the end of the night I would turn into an addict, a fan of a little girl with the glass hair? The humorous, unbelievably sweet, explosive heroine and her true knight and paladin, the mathematical and cybernetic prodigy… And Robbie? Point a finger at yet another equally charismatic computer in this part of the Universe, and I would call you a troll, a liar and a virgin." Bjorn, LitForum
