==Plot summary==
"A Young Man with Prospects" is the story of Alessandra Toscano. Alessandra is a poor thirteen-year-old girl from Monopoli, Italy. One day Alessandra's seemingly irresponsible mother comes home and announces that they will be colonizing one of the former Formics worlds. When she first finds out, Alessandra doesn't want to go, Alessandra then tracks down her grandmother whom she had never met and asks her for help. However, when her grandmother hears that Alessandra wants to stay with her she throws her out. Upon returning home Alessandra finds out that the reason they are so poor is because her mother has been paying her grandmother to stay out of their lives to protect Alessandra. When she learns this Alessandra agrees to go. Later Alessandra learns that she will be traveling with Ender Wiggin, who will be made governor of the colony when they arrive. Her mother hopes that they will fall in love and get married. On their last day in Italy Alessandra's grandmother comes to their house and begins screaming at them. Alessandra's mother stands up to the woman and tells her to go away.
Alessandra later makes friends with Ender and under her mother's influence, tries to seduce him. This fails and she decides to go to the colony instead of staying aboard with her mom and Admiral Morgan. She later marries Po, Ix's older son.
