Could be interesting, but I bet it wouldn't be any nicer than the adult version. Or maybe, given a threat from outside the tribe, the people would pull together better… Hm. Stories just bubble up all over the place, don't they? Re Mimi’s idea of setting a teen novel in an isolated setting – sounds like Lord of the Flies with supernatural predators.

Makes you wonder what's happening on the space station. As you say it really provides thought for a novel.
