The Rolling Stones by Robert A.
Heinlein
Fun Family Adventure
The rollicking adventures of the Stone family on a tour of the Solar System.
It all started when the twins, Castor and Pollux Stone, decided that life on
the Lunar colony was too dull and decided to buy their own spaceship and
go into business for themselves. Their father thought that was a fine idea,
except that he and Grandma Hazel bought the spaceship and the whole
Stone family were on their way out into the far reaches of the Solar
System, with stops on Mars (where the twins got a lesson in the
interplanetary economics of bicycles and the adorable little critters called
flatcats who, it turned out, bred like rabbits; or, perhaps, Tribbles . . .), out
to the asteroids, where Mrs. Stone, an M.D., was needed to treat a
dangerous outbreak of disease, and even further out, to Titan and beyond.
Unforgettable Heinlein characters on an unforgettable adventure.
Personal Review: The Rolling Stones by Robert A. Heinlein

The Stone family of seven consists of a grandma, two parents, three sons
and one daughter living on the moon. The middle kids, teen twins Castor
and Pollux, are tired of their bossy older sister and their nosy younger
brother. They decide to make money as independent space traders by
buying a vessel and flying to the Asteroids. Dad says no insisting they go
to an earth bound school and get an education; but Grandma Hazel
supports their daring scheme with one annoying (at least to the twins)
modification; the magnificent seven band together on this solar system
venture.
The entire family leaves their moon based home for Mars and beyond.
The septet continually argues and has spats, but come together when
emergencies arise. For instance the twins almost fail to leave Mars as
they break the law angering the Martians when they tried to skip out on the
import tax after selling bikes; Grandma Hazel saves their respective butts.
When they reach the Asteroid Belt, Grandmother Hazel and the youngest
Lowell vanish. The remaining Stones in a frenzy search for the missing
pair.
This exciting middle school science fiction focuses on the family who fly
the solar system together stay together. The seven Stones are each fully
developed with unique characteristics. Their escapades at their lunar
home, on Mars, and the Asteroid Belt make for a fun trip through space.
Young adult fans will get plenty of satisfaction from the reprint of Robert A.
Heinlein's ROLLING STONES.
