Six kids from around the world have been chosen for the first-ever mission to Mars and Miranda Regent is one of them. But as soon as the announcement is made, protesters worldwide claim the selection process was rigged -- and that Miranda was only chosen because she's American. Soon she's getting anonymous threatening messages. When the training base is attacked, it looks like Miranda is the intended target. Now the entire mission and everyone's lives are at risk. And while it seems Miranda may be the one who put them all in danger -- she may also be the only one who can save them.… (mehr)

The idea is solid. There is some inclusivity (Miranda has her numbers and order thing). Not sure about other characters, did not get that far. Supposedly it has diversity, what with kids from different countries. Again - not sure how well it's tackled because did not get far.

"Merit for the win" is a good approach in the world full of stories about Very Special Snowflakes. Though one could argue how there are whooping SIX Snowflakes in this story, of which Miranda happens to be one. So the jury is out on this particular bit.

It's written in first person, which I find problematic more often than not. It just raises flags from the get-go. *shrug* Generally it would not be much of a problem. BUT, a big fat BUT. The writing sounds NOTHING like a 13-year-old, nevermind how smart they are. If read without any prior information, this could be pegged as YA. It just doesn't have the feel of an MG book.

The writing is somewhat clunky and bogged down by unnecessary descriptions and weird phrasing. It was also quite tedious, and no kid would keep reading when nothing seems to happen. Because nothing much happened by the time I abandoned all hope and quit. And that's with me persisting. Kids would drop it sooner IMO.

On paper it sound like a good read for kids with interest in science, adventure and space. Yet here we are. The reality is quite different.

FINAL VERDICT : CANNOT RECOMMEND ( )
