IT BEGINS ON MARS

The President of the United States is woken in the early hours. Aliens have been spotted on Mars — and they're doing something unexpected. Very unexpected. Meanwhile, an eleven-year-old called Lexi has spotted them too, and she is not about to leave this to the grown-ups.

YES, THIS IS STILL A MARS BOOK

No, you haven't picked up the wrong story. Why does part two of a Mars adventure open underwater? That would be telling. New friends, new enemies, spies, poker lessons — and, somewhere out there, a plan to ruin Christmas.

AND COMES HOME

Kidnaps and rescues, an admiral's personal log, and a race to save Christmas itself. It ends the way the best stories do: everyone around one table, crackers pulled, jumpers on — and one last surprise waiting in the barn.

ONE NOVEL. THREE WORLDS.

Mars Rovers is a funny science-fiction novel in three parts, for readers of ten and up — and just as much for the parents and grandparents reading along. It works the way a good pantomime works: jokes for the kids, and jokes that sail clean over their heads and land on the grown-ups. Nobody misses out, and everybody's sure they got the best bits.

It was written a chapter a week for the author's daughter, who heard every one of them first and demanded the next. That was the entire editorial process, and the book is better for it.
