A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mission 10: Last Stand (Mars Diaries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked this book it was very entertaing.This book has a very interesting plot and a chilling ending. Tyce Sanders who has been visiting earth was the first kid born on Mars.He is now coming home.Tyce has also been in a wheelchair all his life,and now he might be able to walk for the first time since he was a baby.Of course, there is a down side to all of this.Tyce might lose robot control as a result to the operation he had done.Wait!This plot gets better.An evil Manchurian fleet is folowing their spaceship.What will happen? I happen to think this is not the very best Mars Diaries book,but it is interesting.
