This picture book gives an inside look into space rover Opportunity's time on Mars, mixing humour with solid space and rover facts.

"Learn all about the Mars Opportunity Rover ('Oppy') in this fictionalized account of the space exploration robot's time on the red planet."--Author's website.

"A valedictory tip of the hat to the Opportunity rover...(a) timely addition considering that interest in sending new probes—and people—to the red planet is ramping up." —Kirkus Reviews

"For more than 14 years, the Opportunity rover on Mars followed instructions from NASA scientists and sent back information. McGowan lightly fictionalizes the rover's story, while Carter’s dynamic digital artwork brings Oppy to life as an appealing character on an important mission. An attractive picture book introducing the Mars Exploration Program." —Booklist

"Inspired by Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity...McGowan’s fictionalized telling describes Oppy’s various duties on the surface of the planet... subtly textured digital spreads have a retro, sherbet-toned palette... this narrative will prove engaging for those interested in robotics and space." —Publishers Weekly
