AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Kids from rival Martian colonies must come together to fight for survival in this thrilling new middle-grade space adventure from an exciting Australian talent.

'Raised in rival colonies on Mars, each long ago abandoned by Earth, Dee and Holt have been brought up to hate even the idea of each other. But when a mysterious object crash lands on a far-flung plain, they are both sent to investigate and their fates intertwine. Together they must battle epic storms and deadly bioclouds while unpicking the web of lies they have been told about their planet. Will their bond be strong enough to withstand the arrival of a mysterious invader that threatens to end life on Mars forever?

'Timely and compelling, Mars Awakens is an unputdownable space adventure that offers a window into our future, perfect for fans of Star Wars and sci-fi.' (Publication summary)
