Loa's Secret - Paperback

"Loa had a secret, and like most things that were hers, she couldn't wait to share it."

But life on the mining planet Sekris is not easy. The crater where Loa lives with her father is home to thousands of colonists, who labor under the crushing rule of the Gevroh Corporation Enforcers, toiling to keep the machines of industry running. By Corporation decree even children must work for barter tokens, though Loa's meager allotment comes up short when the company store raises prices.

With her sister locked in underground detention, and corporate abuses increasing, Loa is determined that on this year's Petition Day things will be different. Now all she needs is to get her friends to follow her, to explore a wrecked cargo ship beyond the crater wall, and to investigate strange sounds, from a tunnel she discovered underneath.
