Earth to Dad

















The earth has suffered a major catastrophe - water is scarce, the sun is really dangerous and mankind's only real hope is colonizing Mars.  Fortunately people like Jameson's father have gone to Mars to do the prep work.  While Jameson really misses his dad he is fortunate to have a satellite communication system and he can send and receive messages every few days.  But then his dad starts acting strange - lies about a mission, says he's run out of time.  And there is a new girl living next door whose mother recently died on Mars.  She starts acting weird and Jameson's mom is flirting with Astra's dad - yuck.

Can Jameson figure out what is going on and maybe help his dad in the process.  No spoilers but I figured out the main issue pretty early on.  As the book got near the end I worried that it was going to leave on a  cliffhanger waiting for a sequel but it actually ended pretty well.  Overall, I enjoyed it.
