The year is 2102, the
earth is in crisis, and Trina, a gutsy young woman from a poor family,
is forced to sell herself into slavery to pay off her family’s debt. To
her surprise, she ends up being sent into space to help colonize a star.
Her future seems bright until crisis strikes the colony – leaving Trina
the only human being left alive on Planet Johannes. Another spaceship
is slated to arrive in a decade, but how will Trina survive alone for
ten years? And even if she does, how can she keep the next colony from
meeting the same fate? The answers to these questions show up in the
form of “friends with wings.” Once Trina meets the Eeriv, nothing will
ever be the same.

Told with journal entries Friends With Wings is a story of a girl who is assigned to work off a debt and is sent to space to help build a place for humans to live on another planet. She is put to sleep for 32 years, watches as all of her shipmates are slaughtered and is taken in by the local intelligent population. They are winged and live in the trees where they provide Trina a home and support.
The story flows by very fast we we jump from journal entries and points of interest in the story. Trina spends a lot of time exploring and learning more about the different forms of life. Especially the reason for the colonies destruction. It is a fun fantasy/science fiction adventure story with a strong and smart lead character.
I really enjoyed the world we were taken to. The environment and the unusual and imaginative characters gave a very unique and very enjoyable story. I recommend this book, I "flew" through it, it's clean and great for tweens and teens. 4 Stars
