Bright and bouncy colors underscore the spirit of adventure, and Tempest's (the Babylit series) cartooned drawings have a freewheeling spontaneity that's well suited to the idea of Sadie going where her mind takes her. Back matter contributes facts about Mars and women in space." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p><p>"Inspiring, adventurous fun for aspirational kids." <b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><br>
