THE LION OF MARS

THE LION OF MARS by Jennifer L. Holm

The Lion of Mars by Jennifer L. Holm is a great read! It honestly sat in my pile of books for at least 6 months, and I put off reading it. I really struggled with getting excited about people living on Mars. Just not my normal wheelhouse. Finally, I bit the bullet and read it, and I am so glad I did!

The year is 2091, and many countries have settlements on Mars. The problem? It's against the rules for the US Settlement to get together with any of the other settlements. So what in the world are the kids in the US Settlement supposed to do when all the adults get sick? This isn't a game. This is life and death. Speaking of death, what's all the secrets surrounding the mysterious death of one of the team members? Someone knows the answers, and they aren't telling. To navigate all of the Mars' issues one of the kids is going to have to really find their courage and become a lion.

HEADS UP- This book does have some minor disobedience issues. There is more than one death. No gore at all.
