Take any of these away and we cannot survive for long. Shelter, water, and food, we must put in some effort to obtain. We take air for granted because it's always there, wherever we go. But what if it wasn't? What if we had to put effort into obtaining and managing the air we breathe, just as we do for everything else? Welcome to life on Mars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Generation Mars series is hard science fiction scaled for kids. Sisters Cas and Ori are among the first children born on Mars. The series follows their adventures as they grow up in an environment unlike any in which children have grown up before. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach book in the series uses a fundamental element of survival as title and jumping off point: Air, Shelter, Water, Food. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn book one, Air, the sisters learn about the air they breathe, and about what can happen when things go wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the author: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am writing the Generation Mars series to give kids their first exposure to hard science fiction. Technically, that term simply means that the events of the stories are grounded in science. But, inevitably, it also means that the science can be hard. I've made an effort to ensure that the story is enjoyable even without a thorough understanding of the science involved. Terms are introduced in a way that should make their meaning obvious from context. The science section at the back is challenging, but I've made the important take-aways clear at the beginning of each section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI also have not held back in terms of vocabulary and grammatical style throughout the book. It is my experience that kids are able to enjoy reading levels far beyond what we expect, as long as the story keeps them engaged. I think this one will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 09, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47304861090041,"sku":"9781733731027","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Yzk2a043RmRLTGhWY1EyY0VZU2hJdz09_7bda284a-d8ec-425e-b003-7a0094eb5cde.webp?v=1769311011","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/air-generation-mars-book-one-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
