Now, this isn't my normal read. I'm not a robot person (unless its R2-D2 or BB-8), but I had heard and read so many great reviews on A Rover's Story by Jasmine Warga that I just had to try it out. I'm also trying to read more books that my young male students might enjoy. I am so glad I took a chance on this book because it was fabulous and completely adorable!
The reader sees through the eyes of Resilience, a Mars rover being built and prepared for a mission to the planet Mars. Res walks us through the process of getting ready, landing on Mars and what all the incredible scientists have to do to get a mission like this up, running and continuing to run.
You fall in love with Res, Fly (his drone helicopter friend), and all the scientists that are working on the project. This book helps readers see how important team work is and how when we work together, great things happen.
I have a young tutoring client who found out that I was reading it and he said, "Miss Emily! We are so reading that next!" I told him that its officially on our, to read next, list! 😄
I really hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
Now, go and READ!
