Recenzii

[A] cheerful story about family and growing up. Brown conveys Arty's observations and growth with wit, insight, and emotional honesty, and the numerous factoids about the cosmos should entice budding astronomers and neophytes alike.
Will please middle graders seeking a funny story about a kid who loves outer space.
The friendship between Arty and Cash is both preposterous and completely believable. UltimatelyLife on Marsisn't about making connections to other planets so much as making them across the street.
