BOOK REVIEW by Julian Brashears Title: The Martian Chronicles This is Ray Bradbury's classic about the first manned shuttle to fly to Mars, the red planet. When they arrive, the Earthlings discover an entire Martian civilization. But, once the humans land, they never come back to Earth, and no one ever hears from them again. After years and years, the Martians disappear forever, and the Earthlings take over Mars, because Earth is now a dying planet. But, shadowy figures have been appearing everywhere. I highly recommend this book; however, it might not be suitable for younger children due to violence and strong language. |
