So the adventure continues in Part 2 of
Aoleon The Martian Girl, a five-part sci-fi adventure novel for kids
and adults alike. My son, Alessio and I loved Aoleon The Martian Girl: First Contact (Part #1) where we were
introduced to a fun-loving teen Martian girl named Aoleon who came to
visit Earth and ended up taking Gilbert, the Nebraskan farm boy back
to Mars with her.
In Part 2, Aoleon introduces Gilbert to
life on Mars. He meets her family, gets to see her home, and attends
school with her. And he gets to meet Bizwat the pizza delivery guy
who is so much more than what he seems. Pizza on Mars? Yes! And it's
made with galactic milk. But there's something sinister brewing. It
started when Pax, a character briefly introduced at the end of Part
1, and who is part of the resistance, tells Aoleon she has a part to
play. We don't know yet what that's going to be, but we discover
Aoleon's skills as a quick-witted gal, especially during the psi-ball
match.
I read Part 2 with Alessio as there are
parts of the novel that were scientifically complex and difficult to
understand. My son wanted to skip through all the Mars history lesson
and move on to the action. But I told him the history to a story is
important as it will help to understand the plot. As with the first
part, the illustrations are brilliant and we wished there were more.
LeVasseur has an amazing imagination and he's created a complex and
interesting world on Mars. My son thinks this book would make an
awesome movie, and he is right.
Gilbert is still Alessio's favorite
character and he and Aoleon make a great friend duo. We can't wait to
continue the adventure in Part 3 and see how the plot continues to
unfold.
