Mike Stellar: Nerves of Steel

What's going on? Mike is whisked away on a trip to Mars on only eight hours' notice, and while that sounds kind of cool. . . things aren't quite right. His parents might be involved in a sabotage plot; the know-it-all, talks-too-much girl in his class seems out of this world; and his sister back on Earth is missing. As if all that weren't enough, Mike's teacher seems to come from the Dark Ages of the twenty-first century, and his mom's assistant is a creepy goon. What could be worse? Oh, yeah! The food stinks! Loaded with laughs and fast-paced action, K. A. Holt's first novel is set to give summer reading a cosmic blast of fun.

K. A. Holt lives a life of mayhem in Austin, Texas, with her husband, three children, and an annoying dog. When she is not writing space adventures or daydreaming about time travel, she enjoys eating lots and lots of chocolate and watching too much television.
