How far would you go to rescue someone you love?
For thirteen-year-old Celine Red Cloud, the answer is obvious: as far as it takes. Somewhere in the cold, sandstorm-blasted Martian landscape, her father lies stranded, unable to get back to their small human colony.
The other colonists have abandoned the search, but Celine refuses to believe her father-a brilliant geologist-didn't find a way to survive. Together with Alex, a young clone with ties to the colony's founder, Celine sets out on a dangerous mission to rescue her father.
All that stands in her way is the red planet itself-a world filled with alien dangers eager for a chance to bring Celine's search to a deadly end.
If Celine's not careful, Mars might just claim two Red Clouds.
