Rezensionen
"It's a gripping read. The novel does a terrific job of communicating scientific information to young readers, and it's also emotionally satisfying."
- New York Times Book Review

"Warga follows her cybernetic narrator from first awareness to final resting place-and stony indeed will be any readers who remain unmoved by the journey. The intelligences here may be (mostly) artificial, but the feelings are genuine and deep." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A touching, fact-filled novel [that] centers the maturation of gutsy Mars rover Resilience." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"An endlessly inventive story, replete with gentle humor and playful pondering, offering a unique perspective on everything from music and electronics to loyalty and love. Res is written in a distinct, precise voice and sweetly countered by interspersed letters to the rover from a young girl intimately connected to his being, and both thoughtfully evolve as the years pass. A profound and poignant exploration of the universe both outside and within us all." - Booklist (starred review)

"Will thrill fans of both adventure and robot stories and also provide intellectual sustenance for the deep thinkers...Through the character of a robot Warga probes issues of identity, attachment, and the purpose of life, offering readers an unusual but heartfelt example of the importance of staying true to yourself, quirks and all." - Horn Book Magazine

"A fictional Mars Rover narrates its own journey from the robotics lab to the Red Planet. The format of brief journal entries and letters is engagingly readable for even reluctant readers, and the humorous interactions between robots and machines keep the science-heavy story moving at a reasonable pace. A fresh format and timely topic engage readers in this uplifting and deeply human sci-fi story." - School Library Journal

"This is far from just a cerebral exploration of what humanity means, however, and there's plenty of adventure and tension as Res confronts dust storms, howling winds, gear-grinding gravel, and dangerous craters. Sure to correctly garner comparisons to Brown's The Wild Robot, this shares that title's appeal and accessibility." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"As a mechanical engineer and STEM-lover, this beautiful book filled my heart right to the top. Res may be a rover, but he taught me what it means to be fully alive." - Christina Soontornvat, two-time Newbery Honor recipient
