The story behind the rover, Resilience, from his own perspective.
This book was really hard for me to get into. I was bored for 90% of the book. It felt like a lot of the book was filler and very repititive. I was hoping for a Wild Robot kind of vibe, but this felt more technical and really dragged for me. I did love Rania (one of the NASA scientists) and the Rover's relationship with her. I even teared up at the bittersweet ending. If a kid enjoys books about Mars/space they will probably enjoy this, but it fell really flat for me.
