Meet Resilience, a Mars rover determined to live up to his name. Res was built to explore Mars, not to have human emotions, but as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop human-like feelings. Maybe there's a problem with his programming . . .
Described as Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan meets Peter Brown's The Wild Robot, A Rover's Tale is a unique and deeply moving middle grade novel about the journey of a fictional Mars rover, from Jasmine Warga the Newbery Honor–winning author of Other Words for Home.
“Warga follows her cybernetic narrator from first awareness to final resting place—and stony indeed will be any readers who remain unmoved by the journey. The intelligences here may be (mostly) artificial, but the feelings are genuine and deep.” -- Kirkus Reviews
