This is the first science fiction book I ever read! It changed my life as I read about the expolits of two children living in a Mars colony. The young boy and girl discover that there is, indeed, life on Mars. This is an excellent book to introduce science fiction to a child. Well-written with science facts yet the two protaganists are likeable and interesting. If you love science fiction, share this with your children and spark that same love in them!

This was one of the first books I ever read. I loved it as a child and thought it was a very good CHILDREN'S book written from an early 1960s perspective. It is fantasy. Perhaps some of the other reviewers might take this into perspective before engaging in name calling.

As a child I loved this book so much. I was not a nog sci-fi buff but read it over and over again. I think that my eight year old son would love it. Since it is fiction, I am not (and never was worried) about the story being inaccurate in any way.

Lost Race of Mars

"Lost Race of Mars, "is an extremely exciting and daring book about a family traveling to observe life on mars. I loved this book because it is such an unbelievable adventure. This story all started on surprise day. Surprise day is a day the family made up when each family member has to do something...well...surprising. The fathers surprise was he was going to mars. Then, a moment later he announced we are going to mars. Jim and Sally had to make a big decision. I would have said yes the second he stopped if he asked me. The weird rules, mean people and atmosphere were all confusing within the first five minutes on mars. Then they went to settle in immediately. A few days later when the family was all settled in they went and explored an old Martian cave. A few weeks after that Jim and sally explored, alone, to see if the old Martians still existed. Then a sand storm came about, the kitten they kept when the father was testing the life on mars a few days ago ran off. Jim and Sally chased it to the truth of which the old Martians really exist or are truly extinct. I would recommend this book to someone who is very patient because it is a long book. HAPPY READING!

The book The Lost Race of Mars was a fictional and inacurate book. The author obviously did not do any research. It is funny to see how people from the 1960's thought life would be in 2007. The two protagonists are obsessed with a family pet and cant be torn away from their home to go on a dream vacation on Mars. Mr Silverberg really didnt work very hard on his book this time.
