Story4.5 out of 5 stars 113
Bell has spent his whole life—all eleven years of it—on Mars. But he's still just a regular kid—he loves cats and any kind of cake, and is curious about the secrets the adults in the US colony are keeping. Like, why don't they have contact with anyone on the other Mars colonies? Why are they so isolated? When a virus breaks out and the grown-ups all fall ill, Bell and the other children are the only ones who can help. It's up to Bell—a regular kid in a very different world—to uncover the truth and save his family...and possibly unite an entire planet.

Super Cute Story

Very cute and creative story for younger readers. I agree with a couple of the other reviews that the narrator sounds much younger than the actual age the characters should be. The main character, Bell, is eleven years old but is written much younger sounding. Maybe 7-8, in my opinion.
But I enjoyed the creativity and though the pacing was very slow, I believe younger readers will enjoy t the idea of a group of kids living on mars.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 80
Jeff Irwin is short, timid, and studious. A bit of a social outcast, he lives quietly in the shadows of the popular kids at his school, his life ruled by his ever-present fear of rejection or failure. Enter high school football hero Brett Willson and the chance for Jeff to embark upon the challenge of educating the world's dumbest jock. But what develops between Brett and Jeff proves far more challenging than any tutoring session.

Enjoyed it for what it is

It definitely has strong themes. LGBTQ, D/s, Alcoholism, Death, etc. You can tell that it wasn’t edited well because some things were very repetitive and/didn’t align with things that were said and done at different times in the story. Overall I enjoyed it though because I’m into the themes. If you’re not into there themes mentioned, the book isn’t for you.
