A Rover's Story

By: Jasmine Warga

Narrated by: Jacob McNatt, Ariana Delawari

The One and Only Ivan meets The Wild Robot in this unique and deeply moving middle grade novel about the journey of a fictional Mars rover, from the Newbery Honor–winning author of Other Words for Home. New York Times bestseller!

Meet Resilience, a Mars rover determined to live up to his name.

Res was built to explore Mars. He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop humanlike feelings. Maybe there’s a problem with his programming….

Human emotions or not, launch day comes, and Res blasts off to Mars, accompanied by a friendly drone helicopter named Fly. But Res quickly discovers that Mars is a dangerous place filled with dust storms and giant cliffs. As he navigates Mars’s difficult landscape, Res is tested in ways that go beyond space exploration.

As millions of people back on Earth follow his progress, will Res have the determination, courage, and resilience to succeed… and survive?

A Wonderful Story for Everyone

This whole book made me feel like I was there, experiencing it. From the very beginning of the book to the very last chapter, I was completely intrigued. The voice actor who performed this audiobook did a great job at the different voices and emotions. Everything in this book was outstanding. Over the course of this book, we meet a rover named Res. The story is written in not only the main characters' perspectives, but also another main character writing to Res. I found that to be very unique. The performance was wonderful. The cover art was wonderful. The story was wonderful. Everything was absolutely perfect. I recommend this book to not just robotics enthusiasts, but to anyone looking for a book to enjoy no matter the situation.
