No, this isn't a post about a scientific discovery. At least not exactly.
It's a review of a book for kids.
Life on Mars by Jennifer Brown is a middle grade fiction book about Arty, a boy with the usual problems of sibling rivalry with his sisters. He has two good friends, a fascination with astronomy, and an active imagination.
Then a strange, scary, old man moves in next door, and Arty's dad looses his job so they'll have to move away. Things keep getting more and more difficult.
When Arty has to stay with that scary neighbor he finds out the man can help him find out about life on Mars. Then even more things change.
I couldn't help caring about Arty as if he were a real kid.
The story is fun, exciting, and kids who read it will enjoy learning about astronomy without being bored.
