SynopsisAfter Davey Martins family moves to Mars, he discovers that theres nothing to do--at least until he and his robot dog Polaris learn to seize the spirit of adventure. Full color., When Davey Martin's family moves to Mars, he discovers that there's nothing to do--at least until he and his robot dog Polaris learn to seize the spirit of adventure. It's not until they've zipped around the planet on his flying scooter--climbing Martian "trees," digging up "fossils," dancing in Martian rain dances--that they discover a treasure that finally piques Davey's interest--a source of water on the red planet!
