The perfect space book for kids after Artemis II!
Looking for a funny space adventure that feels like the next step after the Artemis II splashdown?
Rise of the Explorers is the laugh-out-loud Mars story for kids 8-14 that turns real NASA science into pure fun.
Marsus is the weird kid on Zyphora (Mars to humans). When a human spaceship crashes in his backyard, his exploding inventions and big dreams suddenly become the key to saving the mission. Teaming up with two Earth kids, a sarcastic NASA rover named Oppy, and a hyperactive color-changing pet named Blorp, he learns that being different isn't a flaw - it's the superpower that might just bring Mars back to life.
Packed with real Mars science (low gravity, terraforming, water from ice, orbital mirrors, Olympus Mons & more), huge laughs, and tons of heart.
If your child loved the Artemis II mission and is asking When do we go to Mars?, this is the book they need.
