A Martian Adventure — Caroline Tung Richmond

Living on Mars is such a drag! That's where Miri lives with her exobiologist parents who were transferred to the red planet for work. One day while doing her chores with her robotic dog Ruff, she makes a startling discovery that will make her re-evaluate whether living on Mars is so bad, after all! With full-color illustrations and a short chapter format, this 32-page sci-fi book will capture the interest of both reluctant and avid readers who enjoy science fiction stories with a female protagonist. The hi-lo text is perfect for students who need high-interest, low-readability books.
