Publisher's Summary:
First published in 1950, Farmer in the Sky is one of the first boys' books by science fiction icon Robert Heinlein. This optimistic novel addresses the ever-more-timely question of what happens when Earth's resources become too overtaxed to support human life.For teenager Bill Lerner, who lives with his widower father in the City of Southern California, overpopulation has so constricted the food supplies that they must follow a strict caloric ration, and the crowded and starving civilization has become embattled. Sound familiar? Bill's solution is to emigrate to the colony Ganymede, on Jupiter's third moon. There, a motley crew of pioneers tries, with varying success, to forge a life-sustaining environment and a civilization that will learn from the errors of the one they left behind.
