Book ID/图书代码： 12100014B73240
English Summary/英文概要： The highly anticipated follow-up to Janet Edward’s sensational YA sci-fi debut, Earth Girl.
18-year-old Jarra has a lot to prove. After being awarded one of the military’s highest honours for her role in a daring rescue attempt, Jarra finds herself – and her Ape status – in the spotlight. Jarra is one of the unlucky few born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Derided as an ‘ape’ – a ‘throwback’ – by the rest of the universe, Jarra is on a mission to prove that Earth Girls are just as good as everyone else.
Except now the planet she loves is under threat by what could be humanity’s first ever alien contact. Jarra’s bravery – and specialist knowledge – will once again be at the centre of the maelstrom, but will the rest of the universe consider Earth worth fighting for?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 继珍妮特•爱德华的处女作科幻小说《YA》之后，又一部寄予厚望的小说《地球女孩》诞生。
对亚娜而言，18岁意味着证明自己。因为一次英勇的救援行为而被授予军事最高荣誉之一的亚娜，在聚光灯下，发现自己是一个猿人。亚娜属于那类少数不幸的人群，他们天生具有不能存活在其他星球上的免疫系统，所以被宇宙中的其他物种嘲笑为“猿人”，也就是“老古董”，但是亚娜在这次使命中证明了她们这些地球女孩和其他人一样。
除了她所热爱的星球正处于人类首次接触外星人的威胁中，亚娜的勇气和专业知识将再次成为这次动乱的聚焦点，但是宇宙的其他物种是否认为地球值得为之战斗吗？（LNL）
Awards/获奖情况：“几度硝烟，几份浪漫，些许少年的烦恼，濒临坍塌的摩天楼，可以说这部小说涵盖了所有你希望有的，它充分抓住青少年读者的眼球，使他们完全沉迷其中。”——亮光杂志评论；
“突破常规。” ——SFX杂志评论；
“珍妮特•爱德华的首部小说，以充分的历史故事和冒险情节勾勒了一个真实的未来世界，使读者为之沉迷。”——亚马逊Kindle编辑皮克在八月书刊（2012年3月）中写道；
“《地球女孩》描绘了一个闪亮的未来，一个你想真实去生活的未来，或许第一次有这种冲动是在更早的那部乌托邦式的《YA》。这部小说依托着各种复杂夺目的角色，跌宕起伏，充满了伟大的想法和更多的惊喜，是一部令人耳目一新的原创巨作。”——《量子硬币》的作家E. C. 迈尔斯评论。
About the Author/作者介绍： 珍妮特•爱德华出生于英国。在孩童时代，她喜欢阅读她能拿到的任何东西，包括数不清的的科幻小说。她曾在哈佛专修数学专业，后来转为写作，在决定改变风格写这些有趣的东西之前也曾写过若干年生涩难懂的科技作品，这是段不堪忍受的经历。现在的她有丈夫和一个儿子，家里仍然有很多的书，而且还讨厌做家务。
珍妮特的首部小说《地球女孩》，同时被亚马逊和Kobo选作2012年最受年轻人欢迎的书籍之一。三部曲中的第二部《地球星》和最后一本《地球迁徙》也都是很值得期待的。
Janet Edwards lives in England. As a child, she read everything she could get her hands on, including a huge amount of science fiction and fantasy. She studied Maths at Oxford, and went on to suffer years of writing unbearably complicated technical documents before deciding to write something that was fun for a change. She has a husband, a son, a lot of books, and an aversion to housework.
Janet’s debut novel, EARTH GIRL, was chosen by both Amazon and Kobo as one of their best Young Adult books of 2012. The sequel, EARTH STAR, and the final book in the trilogy, EARTH FLIGHT, are also available now
