Jimi & Isaac 3a: The Mars Mission by Phil Rink

I received this book as part of the Member Giveaway program on LibraryThing.com. This book is at a third grade level, but it is so fun for both kids and grown-ups. A great lesson is learned here about sticking with a project, and not giving up even when others around you quit. Jimi and Isaac are given a challenge to build a Mars probe that can take pictures. Isaac gives up on it pretty quickly, but Jimi keeps going on it, with some pressure from the grown-ups who think he is making a model, and not the real thing. This is a great book with a fun storyline, and an interesting perspective. Really a great read, something parents can feel good about their child reading. It has a few lessons to learn, and a lot of fun. Great book!
