Life on Mars

A daring young astronaut arrives on Mars, certain he will find life there. He has even brought a gift of chocolate cupcakes. But soon he realises he’s made a mistake. He won’t find life on Mars – and what’s worse, now he can’t find his spaceship!

Classic slapstick storytelling, as only the kids will see that a lonely Martian is following the astronaut around. For older readers, begs discussion about exploration, entitlement and exploitation.
