Summary "The Lost Kafoozalum" by Pauline Ashwell is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story centers on a group of students from Russett College who, after completing their examinations, find themselves unexpectedly involved in a high-stakes mission that combines adventure with elements of psychological testing. The protagonist, Lizzie Lee, grapples with her own fears and desires as she navigates the complexities of her relationships and the dire situations they encounter in space. At the start of the novel, Lizzie reflects on her time spent on Earth and her past experiences before the suspense builds around their final examination results. Amidst this tension, Lizzie and her friend B Laydon end up on a remote island, where their tranquil time takes a drastic turn when they get abducted by an unidentified flying object. The narrative transitions into a gripping adventure as Lizzie learns that she and her classmates have been selected for a mission involving the recovery of a lost ship, the "Gilgamesh", which harbors political implications for potential war on a newly discovered planet, Incognita. As the story unfolds, Lizzie's courage—and her complicated feelings for their professor, D.J. M'Clare—intensifies, setting the stage for their vital role in preventing a catastrophe.
