De: Jasmine Warga

Narrado por: Jacob McNatt, Ariana Delawari

The One and Only Ivan meets The Wild Robot in this unique and deeply moving middle grade novel about the journey of a fictional Mars rover, from the Newbery Honor–winning author of Other Words for Home. New York Times bestseller!

Meet Resilience, a Mars rover determined to live up to his name.

Res was built to explore Mars. He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop humanlike feelings. Maybe there’s a problem with his programming….

Human emotions or not, launch day comes, and Res blasts off to Mars, accompanied by a friendly drone helicopter named Fly. But Res quickly discovers that Mars is a dangerous place filled with dust storms and giant cliffs. As he navigates Mars’s difficult landscape, Res is tested in ways that go beyond space exploration.

As millions of people back on Earth follow his progress, will Res have the determination, courage, and resilience to succeed… and survive?

hearing things from robot view

I like being referred to as a human by a robot who feels human feelings in him. also the helicopter Fly.

Magical!

This is the book of the year! So beautifully written, with a heartwarming ending. I finished it in no time. I highly recommend it to upper elementary and middle school-aged students.

I can't even describe what stood out everything was great

A Rover story

I loved the book
I love how the person read the book nice and loud

The notes

I liked how the author developed every character, and I liked the plot twist well.

When Journey wasn’t chosen to go to Mars.

What I liked was that Resilience was able to find Courage. But, what I didn’t like was that Journey and Resilience didn’t go together.

Entertaining

How resilience has human feelings was my favorite part I’m twelve years old and my younger brother is eight he thought it was not good because he wanted it to be funny and exciting but I thought it was very entertaining

Absolutely loved!!

Loved this story so much, the science and emotion was well written and definitely resonated with me.

Good overall story

A little hard to keep you get readers attention until the last few chapters. Left several questions at the end. Overall good message and story

fell in love with this rover!

it seems very boring and robotic when you listen to the initial part of this book, then you start warming up to the rover’s mannerism then fall in love with him! what a lovely tale!

its wonderful to know how the author has mixed science with emotion. the letters from a child spotlight a different perspective on the main characters.
