Sinopse

When Alice's dad moves out, leaving her with her troubled mother, she does the only thing that feels right: she retreats to her family's old Renaissance tent in the backyard, determined to live there until her dad comes home. In an attempt to keep at least one part of her summer from changing, Alice focuses on her quest to swim freestyle fast enough to get on her swim team's record board. But summers contain multitudes, and soon Alice meets an odd new friend, Harriet, whose obsession with the school's science fair is equal only to her conviction that Alice's best stroke is backstroke, not freestyle. Most unexpected of all is an unusual babysitting charge, Piper, who is mute—until Alice hears her speak. A funny and honest middle-grade novel, this sharply observed depiction of family, friendship, and Alice's determination to prove herself—as a babysitter, as a friend, as a daughter, as a person—rings loud and true.

    A captivating, eco-conscious story about water-wasting mermaids—and the basis for the award-winning, stop-motion animated short film.  Mermaids on Mars is a sweet tale that educates children on the importance of water conservation. Beautifully illustrated, it includes simple water-saving tips that our Martian mermaid friends want to share with kids all over the world—after ignoring them on their own home planet and learning a most important lesson. Their story and their wisdom will help everyone save Earth’s most precious resource.   “A whimsical story about mermaids—when they lived on Mars. Mermaids thrived in Mars’ crater pools and used up all of the water resources, splashing around. Thanks to a very cool rocket ship, the mermaids traveled to Earth and settled in our oceans. Mermaids also helps children learn the importance of water conservation.” —MySocialGoodNews.com   “Author Nancy Guettier teaches a valuable lesson to children to cherish the resources around them and to use and consume wisely. It’s a perfect lesson for the modern child. Illustrator Tina Cash-Walsh draws beautifully and will captivate the reader.” —TheBabySpot.ca   “This book helps explain that we don’t need to excessively waste water when going potty or when brushing our teeth . . . We love the bright colors and whimsical illustrations in this book.” —The Naptime Reviewer   “I applaud Nancy Guettier for writing books that have an educational bent to them. Any book that teaches conservation to kids definitely has a leg up on the competition in my mind. Mermaids on Mars is definitely a solid kids book with a good lesson behind it.” —Sci-Fi & Scary
