Book Club: A Rover's Story by Jasmine Warga

Details

This month, we will read A Rover's Story by Jasmine Warga. For those who missed The Wild Robot last month, don't worry - we are again reading about robots with emotions! This meetup will be a fun, casual conversation with fellow book lovers. We meet at the Chapbook Cafe at Schuler Books and will have a sign on our table so we are easy to find. Hope to see you there!

Here is the publisher's description of the book:

"Meet Resilience, a Mars rover determined to live up to his name.
Res was built to explore Mars. He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop human-like feelings. Maybe there’s a problem with his programming…

Human emotions or not, launch day comes, and Res blasts off to Mars, accompanied by a friendly drone helicopter named Fly. But Res quickly discovers that Mars is a dangerous place filled with dust storms and giant cliffs. As he navigates Mars’s difficult landscape, Res is tested in ways that go beyond space exploration.

As millions of people back on Earth follow his progress, will Res have the determination, courage, and resilience to succeed…and survive?"
