The Jupiter Chronicles: The Secret of the Great Red Spot (Volume 1)

About the Book:

It is the year 1892 and Ian and Callie Castillo have had to suffer the hardships of a single parent family since their father went missing five years ago. Since then Ian has refused to use the last gift that his father left the wounded boy; a telescope that sits collecting dust in the attic.

When Callie decides to peer through its murky lens it activates the device and sends the Castillos to the steam-powered floating cities of Jupiter to rescue their father and save the Jovians before the Martians launch their attack.

What follows is the beginning of an era that will forever be known by its strange name…Steampunk.

My Thoughts:

Steampunk seems to be very popular right now. This is the third book I have read with that theme in it. While this is a fantasy I really enjoyed that family values really takes front stage in the story line. This is certainly a book that kids will enjoy.
