Homestead: A New Life on Mars

Belle Song just wants to go home. She doesn't understand why her family had to move to Mars. The new family farm is in the middle of nowhere. It's dirty, the animals smell, and the people in town aren't very friendly. Worst of all, she misses her friends back on Earth. At least her android, Melody, tries to keep her company. Will Belle learn to enjoy her new life on Mars? Will she be able to make new friends with the alien kids at her school? This Redworld sci-fi tale will capture readers' imaginations and keep them turning the page to follow Belle's adventures on the red planet.

Reviews

School Library Connection - Susan Black, Educational Reviewer, Arlee, Montanta

"Readers will be drawn in to Belle’s adventures as they follow along with her and will want to keep reading to the end. Each book has several full-page illustrations depicting scenes and characters in the story, and each begins with an illustrated summary of the characters—human, android, and alien—and a map to help readers picture the lay of the land." - School Library Connection

VOYA - Barbara Johnston

"These easy-to-read novels contain both scientific facts about Mars—its climate, calendar, etc.—and science-fictional possibilities, such as programmable house windows and personal androids. . . .Middle school students will identify with the conflicts in Belle’s journal entries and relish the harrowing adventures in each book. A glossary, a list of Mars terms, and discussion questions encourage classroom use, and the theme of understanding between diverse cultures is both timely and relevant." - VOYA
