Carl Bok is a citizen of Springworld, the heavy-gravity planet with monstrous and dangerous flora and fauna. Carl is well over two metres tall and weighs-in at 180 kilograms. Now Carl has a scholarship to Starschool. He'll spend a year on this touring school, visiting sixteen of the colonised planets. This will be the experience of a lifetime. This is a coming-of-age novel. Our gentlemanly and naive country boy learns that the big city (in the guise of the various planets visited) can be a lot more unpleasant than he expected.
