If you’re reading this: HELP! I’ve been kidnapped.
Me and my big sister stayed together after our parents died. We weren’t bothering anybody. But some mean government agents came anyway, and split us up.
Now I’m a prisoner on this space ship. The agents won’t even say where we’re going.
I hate them.
And things have started to get a bit weird. Nullspace is supposed to be empty, but when I look out of the skywindows I can see … something. Out there. And I think it wants to get in here. With us.
My name is Clarissa. I am ten years old.
And they will all be sorry when my big sister comes to rescue me.

My Review
My Rating: 3 Stars
Consider liking my review on Goodreads.
I was granted complimentary access to Clarissa as part of my participation in a blog tour for this title with Rachel’s Random Resources. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.
This is quick sci-fi read with an interesting concept and unique characters. I did enjoy my read, but I didn’t realize before I volunteered for the tour that there were two previous books. I’m not sure if I missed anything in those or if this book is meant to stand alone, but I do wish I had read the others first.
This is a minor critique, but there is a surprising number of sentences in this book that start with “it is.” I’m not sure I would have noticed if I’d read this book the old-fashioned way, but I was letting my screenreader help out and it decided the capital letter I in this particular font doesn’t exist, so those really stood out.
About the Author
Karl Drinkwater writes thrilling SF, suspenseful horror, and contemporary literary fiction. Whichever you pick you’ll find interesting and authentic characters, clever and compelling plots, and believable worlds.
Karl has lived in many places but now calls Scotland his home. He’s an ex-librarian with degrees in English, Classics, and Information Science. He also studied astrophysics for a year at university, surprising himself by winning a prize for “Outstanding Performance”.
When he isn’t writing he loves guitars, exercise, computer and board games, nature, and vegan cake. Not necessarily in that order.
