Life on Mars is a Golden Sower nominee for this school year. 12 year old Arty is convince he will be the one to discover life on Mars. He is a great character, as are his best friends Tripp and Priya. As he stargazes, he notices his creepy new neighbor carrying a bag into the woods every night. Arty and Tripp are pretty sure he is some kind of vampire, or face-eating zombie. I like the way this book is told, it is just like Arty is speaking. It's very conversational and I liked that for this story. This is a great story about "not judging a book by its cover."
