When Davey Martin's family moves to Mars, he discovers that there's nothing to do - at least until he and his robot dog Polaris learn to seize the spirit of adventure. It's not until they've zipped around the planet on his flying scooter - climbing Martian 'trees', digging up 'fossil's" dancing in Martian rain dances - that they discover a treasure that finally piques Davey's interest: a source of water on the red planet!
Chris Gall's new picture book plays on the themes (and ironies) of a complaint parents have heard from their children a thousand times: 'There's nothing to do'" The book also offers a deeper lesson to our stationary, convenience-driven society: If you get up off your butt, be creative, and look carefully, you'll be amazed at what you find!
