Description

Young Carmen Dula and her family are embarking on the adventure of a lifetime-they're going to Mars. But Carmen's rebellious streak leads her to venture out into the bleak Mars landscape alone, where she is saved by an angel. An angel with too many arms and legs, a head that looks like a potato gone bad-and a message for the humans on Mars: We were here first...

Reviews

  • Good book, but don't read the rest of the series.

    This book stands pretty well on its own, and on its own it's fairly interesting. That said, it's part of a three-book series, and I would discourage reading the next two books if you want to hang on to a nice memory of the first one.
