Bookroo's summary
Syretia, uprooted to California, faces a summer camp focused on the Mars Curiosity Rover. Uninterested and homesick, she unexpectedly finds a connection with the rover's mission. As the rover lands millions of miles away, will Syretia open her heart to new beginnings on Earth? Discover how a distant world might just change her own.
From the publisher
Soon after moving to California, Syretia’s mom enrolls her and her brother, Sean, in a Mars or Bust summer camp. Stung by the recent move–and unimpressed by the camp’s focus on the upcoming landing of the Mars Curiosity Rover–Syretia can’t bring herself to care. Until, that is, she discovers that she has more in common with the Mars rover and its mission than she could ever imagine. Can Curiosity’s landing a world away open Syretia’s heart and mind to her new life here on Earth?
