And why did his best friend, Trey, suddenly want to switch rooms" But most of all, Bell wonders about the secrets the adults keep. Why doesn't the US colony have contact with anyone in the other Mars settlements" Is it really dangerous out there" And why are they always so alone? When a virus breaks out and the grown-ups get sick, Bell and the other kids are oddly immune.

Holm breaks new ground in an out-of-this-world story that asks timely questions: What makes a family ? How do you brave the unfamiliar?
