I remember the same as sraun - Liz had Katy's permission to take her daughter offworld.
Or I could fanwank the difference in local years v. Standard Years. Either way, though, Miri had a MUCH more streetwise education than Theo. The ultimate SafeWorld v. NonSafeWorld. I'm thinking kid from Towson v. kid from Sandtown.
We had major snow here, to accompany the community tree-lighting, so there weren't many folk about. Oh the locals showed up for the tree, then came over to say hi and look at the books. No takers though. :/
Yeah,ages
