On a trip to Mars a space ship crash lands back on Earth. Or does it? The world's first school trip to Mars goes terribly wrong. Now the kids are trapped on a strange planet. It certainly looks like Earth, but why is everyone they meet acting so strangely? Jed and his fellow explorers find themselves in a race against time to save planet Earth. Action! Adventure! Danger! This standalone book from Jonny Zucker's Toxic series is a fast-moving chapter book, filled with high-quality black and white illustrations to grab readers' attention. The Toxic series reads are ideal for reluctant and struggling readers who are enthused by short, fast-paced adventure stories. The cliff-hanger at the end of nearly every chapter certainly helps!
