Blog Tour:The Ghosts of Mars

 

Hello and I'm back for two days of blog tours! And this is day one with the Write Reads tour for The Ghosts of Mars by Stuart White. A fun space adventure for middle grade readers definitely for fans of LD Lapinski. This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review.

Plot time: Eva is the first martian-born and local celebrity on her base on Mars but she dreams of being an astronaut. When her father goes missing Eva and her friends must team up and find out what's happening with the mysterious ghosts on Mars all while evading her dad's evil boss!

This book was such a fun quick read. I'm fact it was such a quick read I finished it in my lunch break! 

The adventure was exciting and really reminded me of the pacing of The Strange worlds series. This book has everything a child would want: space, ghosts and big swords!

Also what's really great in the book was the fact that our main character has type 1 diabetes. I imagine this will be really great for children with this condition and also to help others understand it. I loved that one of the central themes of the book is Eva learning to manage her condition herself.

I loved how Eva is a strong heroine who lives STEM and wants to be a astronaut. This book would be perfect for anyone who wants to inspire a child as well as give them the gift of a great story. I hope we get a sequel!
