my favorite character is Ellie because she tried her best to be able to go to Mars. I would recommend this book to others because it’s very exciting.

The story is about a girl called Ellie who’s dad works at a space station. One day Ellie finds out that there is a mission to Mars happening. The following day Ellie asks her dad can he drop her off at the local library but really Ellie was just going to see the rocket without her dad’s permission. Soon Ellie found a room but a few seconds later a news agency came in to the room Ellie was in and started interviewing her. Ellie calls herself Mars girl and then that night Ellie realised that her dad watches the television on that exact news channel. She had to distract him from putting the television on with a very hard maths question but the next day Ellie and her dad were called in to someone’s office called Bradley and he talked to her about joining the trainees to go to mars. Ellie was thrilled so the next day she was told to go in and start her training. A few weeks after her training was finished they were picking the people going to mars. They picked Li, Dev and Emma but a few days before the mars mission Bradley told Ellie that all the trainees and Emma had the flu. This meant they had to pick Ellie and Ellie said yes but it was up to her parents. They decided to let her go to mars and stay there for a few months, then after those few months Ellie came home and received a medal from the White House. I really enjoyed the story because I am very interested in space. My favourite person is Ellie, she never gave up and kept on trying and trying because she wanted to go to space. I would recommend this book to my friends especially those who are interested in space.

It was quite interesting and gave a very good idea of what it might be like in space.

Ellie does a wonderful job by going to Mars at the age of 8. The first person to go Mars just by telling one line to the TV people. I like Ellie the most. It interested me that how will she go and manage at Mars. I would recommend it to everyone.

The great spacey book. A girl wants to go to mars desperately. one day, she is caught looking at a spaceship in a hangar. the next day, The IASA (international aeronautics and space agency) Chairman wants to meet her and her dad. then she gets to do the training for going to mars even if she is not allowed to go to mars. you will absolutely love it if you like space. it's great and tells you what it takes to go to mars. Hey wait, I HEAR SHE IS GOING TO MARS!!!!

I did not understand the book much. It was about how a girl named Ellie makes her way to Mars. I didn't like any character. I think it is for kids in junior college.

I think this book was action packed and exciting. My favourite parts of the story were when they set off to Mars and came back to Earth. I would definitely recommend this story and for the rate system I gave it a five.

i wasn't a big fan of this book though I love space. One thing I learned is that when you lie it can make an impact or change your life forever!

It's really good I love the fact that they have a real fact in majority of the pages. Wowww!! Even an educational book too!!

I thought it was great. It was a fiction. The best person was Ellie (the main person). I would recommend someone else to read it.

This book was the best book I have read in a long time. The little girl named Sarah was my favourite character. She was a very funny character in the book! Yes, I will definitely recommend it to someone else!

i loved it, it was full of space trainees and they were amazing and so was the new astronaut i thought it was one of the best space books in the world

I would definitely recommend this book to others. People who don't rate this book 5/5 must be crazy. (PS:I might use the word accidentally a lot) This book is about a girl who dreams of becoming an astronaut. One day, she went to the space center in USA and sneaked past the guards into the hangar where the rockets were kept. One of the guards asked her why she was there? She told them that she was the youngest astronaut ever and came here to check on the rockets. She was then interviewed by the press reporters which went viral. She went on astronauts training and eventually went on the mission to Mars. This story is set in a few years in the future. It is an interesting read which has lots of facts even though its a fiction book. I liked the main character of this book, who according to author was the "world's best astronaut". I think it was named because she had no previous experience or knowledge whatsoever about being an astronaut. She kept on vomiting in the training center. This was particularly interesting to me because I like to read and know about space and the moon exploration. I like the famous quote by Neil Armstrong, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" which has been used by the main character of this book upon landing on the surface of mars.

It is interesting that this book is set in the future not the past or present. It is also cool how they visit Mars.

I liked this book because I LOVE space and the moon and the stars and the night! I didn't like the part when the girl has to go in the machines and they make her feel dizzy and sick! I thought that a mischief maker who like space would like this book. I dated it 3/5 because I didn't like the dizzy part and when she gets into trouble. I recommend this book to 6-11 year olds.
