Black Hole Sun

Black Hole Sun by David Macinnis Gill

Here's another one that I can't wait to take home with me - headed for the top of my bedside stack of books (but maybe one of you will claim it first - that's what happened with I am Number Four). anyways here's the write up and the trailer.

Durango is playing the cards he was dealt. And it's not a good hand.

He's lost his family.

He's lost his crew.

And he's got the scars to prove it.

You don't want to mess with Durango.

Outta this world

You are the first kid on Mars by Patrick O'Brien

It wasn't really that long ago when the idea of putting a man on the moon seemed like a crazy idea and then in June of 1969 the mission Apollo 11 did just that. The dream of many kids was made a reality.

So to dream of being the first kids on Mars could see it's own reality maybe within the next forty years. Who knows maybe it will look something like the images in this book.

I really enjoyed this book - the creative ideas, especially the elevator car to Earth Station had me hooked. Ideas such as this could provide ideas to the engineers and scientists that work towards someday putting people of red planets surface.

The illustrations are perfect in their dusty red. And there was plenty of information about Mars to make this more than just a picture book. Let your imagination soar with this trip Outta This World.
