Jimi & Isaac 3a: the Mars Mission Phil Rink

Jimi and Isaac are rock stars. They're also epic heroes, intellectuals, soccer players, loving sons, and students in awe of Lipstick, their science teacher. They are wise and foolish, sublime and earthy. They are middle school boys.

Introverted Jimi and brilliant but obnoxious Isaac pester their billionaire buddy Ash Berg into letting them "jazz up" his space expedition. Ash plays along, knowing they will fail and learn from their failure. Issac prefers to make a limited but credible effort and claim a limited but credible victory. Jimi wants more - but good help is hard to find.

BOOK REPORT

?Jimi and Isaac 3a: The Mars Mission? is a book whereby my supposedly best friend Jimi Peterson tells about how he built a space probe that flew to Mars. The whole thing was bought and paid for by the very rich Ash Berg. The book is about us while we're in middle school, but it ends on the first day of high school. It's mostly about how great Jimi is.

Other than the obvious errors that Jimi made like he somehow forgot that the whole thing was my idea, this is a pretty good book for kids to read because there isn't any nudity or sexual pornography. If I didn't know about the lying about me part I would like the book because there's a lot of science and thinking involved, and a lot of stuff happens that is mostly pretty real except the part about me.
