Review of Ellen Parent, “Seedpod,” Luna Station Quarterly 64 (December 2025): 135-153 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
Lena has chosen the seedpod of a space plant to make a dangerous, unprecedented trip across space, tucked inside as a passenger-cum-parasite. How could she have ever expected that she wouldn’t be the only one with such an idea — or that the other potential passenger would select her seedpod as the one for their journey? And how is she supposed to document this and turn her encounter into bite-sized Web videos that will increase her follower count?
I really enjoyed this story, full of humor and pathos.
