A personalized storybook for ages 3–8

Your kid.
Their first step on Mars.

Mars Fever turns your child into the hero of a beautifully illustrated journey to the red planet — name, face, and all — with real Mars science tucked into every page.

The neighbors say Mars is no place for a kid.

The neighbors are about to be proven wonderfully wrong. Your child catches Mars fever on a Tuesday, builds a rocket out of a refrigerator box, waits for the once-every-26-months window — and goes. Fourteen spreads, gentle choices that make every re-read different, and the quiet, homesick middle of the voyage that every future astronaut should know about.

REAL MARS, ON EVERY PAGE: a Mars day is 24 hours and 39 minutes — so a kid on Mars gets 39 extra minutes of playtime, every single day. Facts checked against our own Mars research compendium, editorial disputes and all.

Made by you, made about them

Build your explorer in the character creator — hair, skin, freckles, glasses, favorite color on the mission patch — and watch them appear in the helmet visor on every page. Everything happens on your device: no accounts, no uploads, no data collected. Ever.
