Sobre este artículo

Henry Holt, 2016. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Jeremy Holmes B&W maps and illustrations. CONDITION: NEW 2016 Henry Holt hardcover (brown boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Wonderful B&W map and illustrations throughout by Jeremy Holmes. CONTENT: "I was dangling from a rope, fifty feet up the side of a great pillar of red Martian rock, when I finally realized I had chosen the wrong summer vacation." And thus begins the adventure. Twelve-year-old Edward Sullivan wishes his life on 19th-century British Mars were more like the adventures he reads about in his Thrilling Martian Tales magazine. Sadly, it's school break and instead of being off with his friend Matthew Harrison, he's staying home trying to keep his family on track. His father is a brilliant yet absent-minded mechanician, and his mother's main concern is gaining back the family status she lost when her own father lost the family fortune. When dim-witted cousin Freddie literally comes crashing down, Edward wonders how much worse things can get, but before he knows it, he is tangled up in a madcap adventure with even more action than his magazines. It seems that Edward's father's latest invention, the water abacus, is thought to be the key to perhaps one of the last of the great dragon tombs of Mars. In the past, it was these tombs that held the wonderful Martian technology that enabled British Mars to thrive-and made the tomb explorers rich. There are many who want to use the water abacus for their own purposes, which leads to fights, kidnappings, attempted murder, and a great chase. All of this is set in a perfectly delightful steampunk and fantasy world complete with clockwork automatic servants, dragon paths, and spaceships. Deeper topics of race relations and colonization are deftly explored through the political unrest among the British, the French, and the Martians. A smart addition for middle grade collections. Watch out for sequels. Grades 4 - 6. Intermediate readers and up.
