The Lion of Mars | Jennifer L. Holm

Anyone else have a copy of this book like this? Is it intentional? I actually haven't started reading yet, so maybe it will make sense with the story. Or maybe it's a publishing mistake. 🤷🏻‍♀️

BookKenz I don't have a copy of that book, but my copy of My Sister, The Serial Killer has the last 50 pages or so printed upside down.

My Sister, the Serial Killer: A Novel

smilingshelves @Kenziejo That's even weirder than only part of it is upside down! 2y

BucklingBookshelves I missed this post! If it‘s a library book, my best guess is they accidentally attached the mylar cover upside down. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2y

smilingshelves @BucklingBookshelves Yup, that's exactly what happened! The librarian I told thought it was pretty funny. Of course, she wasn't the one who had done it in the first place. 😄 2y

This is a really cute middle grade book about a boy who is living on Mars when suddenly the adults get sick and the kids have to save them all. Highly recommend for kiddos, especially cat lovers 😉

It is easy to allow misunderstandings and grief to divide people. The kids on Mars find out just how dangerous isolation can be in times of crisis. Bell finds the courage to reach out to others. Step into an imaginative tale of a space colony and its inhabitants and the kids who will bring them all together. A hopeful, adventurous bit of fun.
