This is classic Heinlein - great read! I first read this when I was in high school, and have read it again and again!

Annotation (from B&N)
While accompanying their uncle, a wily politician, on a trip from Mars to Earth, Podkayne and her brilliant but pesky younger brother are caught up in a plot to keep Uncle Tom from an important conference.

Library Journal
This 1963 sf adventure with a female protagonist features Podkayne Fries, who just wants to be a starship pilot. Her family's power, however, makes her a political target.
