Review

This is a sci-fi adventure that takes place on Earth in the future when humans and aliens are fighting each other over the Earth. Humans are losing the battle so they send a group of children to Mars to keep them safe. But it turns out that sending a bunch of kids to Mars might not be the safest thing to do.

The four main characters are children that are sent to Mars. Alice and her 2 friends Josephine and Carl, and Carl’s little brother Noel, are very different from each other (loved Alice’s outlook on things), which makes for interesting friendships. Their time on Mars is filled with surprises and many of them are not good. This is a sci-fi action packed book with aliens, battles and lots of humor.

Overall Book Score: very good
