Ambassador, you are go for launch in T- minus 5...4...3...2...



Miranda Regent can't believe she's one of six kids training for the world's first-ever mission to Mars. But protesters across the globe are convinced she was only chosen because she's American and she's started receiving anonymous threatening messages...



Then the training base is viciously attacked, and it looks like Miranda was the intended target. Soon the team -- and the entire mission -- is at risk...and Miranda may be the only one who can save them.



The high-stakes adventure of The Martian meets the friendship and group dynamics of The Goonies in this action-packed middle grade novel, perfect for fans of Chris Grabenstein, Chris Rylander, and Peter Lerangis.
