Stephen McCranie's Space Boy

Amy lives on a colony in deep space, but when her father loses his job the family moves back to Earth, where she has to adapt to heavier gravity, a new school, and a strange boy with no flavor.

Coming closer to fully adapting to her new life on Earth, Amy settles in to a solid group of friends at her school. Also, after a meeting with the mysterious Oliver, she decides to reach out to an old friend, which makes the transition all that much easier." --publisher's website...
