A Rover’s Story
FROM SARAH:
My kids and I really loved this audiobook. It's party epistolary (told in letters) about Resilience, a Mars rover. It reminded me a little of Dan Bar-El's The Very, Very Far North. Delightful, start to finish!
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Meet Resilience, a Mars rover determined to live up to his name.
Res was built to explore Mars. He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop humanlike feelings. Maybe there’s a problem with his programming….
Human emotions or not, launch day comes, and Res blasts off to Mars, accompanied by a friendly drone helicopter named Fly. But Res quickly discovers that Mars is a dangerous place filled with dust storms and giant cliffs. As he navigates Mars’s difficult landscape, Res is tested in ways that go beyond space exploration.
As millions of people back on Earth follow his progress, will Res have the determination, courage, and resilience to succeed…and survive?
