Martian Baseball League

By John Scarinci

"A home run for STEM education-this book turns science concepts into pure fun without kids even realizing they're learning."

Baseball is one of the most challenging sports to play on Earth... and it's even tougher when played on Mars

It's the year 2133, and 12-year-old Nolan Hubble has just received the invitation of a lifetime: travel to Mars and compete against a youth team of Mars colonists in the Solar Series Championship.

As the star player of the Earth Terras, Nolan is confident he can help his team dominate the Mars Red Rox-until he learns Mars plays by very different rules.

The ball soars farther in low gravity. Curveballs refuse to curve. Breathing is... complicated. And the Martian players aren't exactly playing fair.

When an accident leaves the Terras without a coach, Nolan's brainy best friend, Tommy, steps in. Suddenly the boys must navigate freezing Martian temperatures, strange food, a cheating Red Rox slugger, and the VERY angry parents Nolan left behind on Earth.

With the odds stacked against them, Nolan and Tommy must use creativity, teamwork, and a little science to win the championship-before Nolan gets grounded across the solar system.

Kids ages 8-12 will love this book if they enjoy: Sports with a fun twistSpace, planets, and futuristic techHumor and adventureFriendship and teamwork storiesSTEM concepts woven into exciting action"An engaging introduction to interplanetary physics wrapped in a story that sports fans will devour."
