The Flight of the Gandhi Elisabeth Walter

Sometime in the distant future, a young girl enters a competition to design a logo for the latest ship in the Galactic Space Corp's fleet. This ship, the Gandhi VII, is the largest ever built, and incorporates a working AI for the first time (although that is not general knowledge). The competition is open to entrants who will be adults on or before a specific date. Suzzara, our heroine, will reach her majority age of sixteen, on that very date. The prize is a place aboard the inaugural flight of the mighty space liner, which, being the seventh of its name, is scheduled to visit the newly designated Seven Wonders of the Galaxy, which include natural wonders, as well as radically differing societies amongst them. Join Suzzara as she embarks on a journey of discovery, not only of the Seven Wonders, with the host of different situations in which she finds herself, but also the experiences involved in growing up, and maturing into the adult she legally has become. Where will the journey lead her, and the mighty ship, and will she return home the same person? This first book covers the period prior to the start of the flight, and then the visits to the first four Wonders. It follows Suzzara as she makes new friends and matures in herself. It includes her sometimes perilous experiences, both on board, and at each of the destinations.
