(3) K-3 "The rocket that will take you to Mars is docked at the space station." With its second-person text, this book takes readers to a colonized Mars and back, relating the preparations, journey, and habitat of the destination. O'Brien's realistic depiction of this futuristic fantasy will leave readers feeling that a six-month stay on our neighboring planet is a not-too-distant possibility.
