Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPraise for MiNRS 3 "Sylvester managed to create a set of believable and empowered characters, equipping them with mechanical tools and transports that allowed them to dig beneath the surface of the planet, evading Thatcher and his goons." * Vancouver Sun *
Praise for MiNRS "Brainy and somewhat naïve, Christopher makes for a solid, earnest narrator, and the other kids, especially his enthusiastic friend Elena, are similarly believable." * Publishers Weekly *
"Plot twists and turns pull readers through the novel and keep them on the edge of their seats. There is never a dull moment or unnecessary scene. VERDICT: A solid survival story with a cliff-hanger ending that will leave readers clamoring for more." * School Library Journal *
“A space adventure like no other, this book takes the reader to a new world. Sci-fi readers will love the non-stop action, futuristic setting, space travel, technology, and the possibility of life on another planet.” * School Library Connection *
"
MiNRS is sci-fi done right: smart, suspenseful, and fantastic enough to spark the imagination." * National Reading Campaign *
