Book Review: There's No Basketball on Mars

Summary

There’s No Basketball on Mars is a teen and young adult science fiction by Craig Leener. Told through the eyes of Sherman Tuckerman whose friends call him Lawrence, he sends readers on a journey to an impossible dream of manning the Earth’s first mission to Mars, in spite of his autism spectrum disorder, and a rare condition known as savant syndrome.

Review

I enjoyed reading this story about a teenage astronaut! The opening alone was a great hook that instantly pulled me into Lawrence’s endearing, fascinating, inspiring, and imaginative tale. Love his quirky character as well as the people around him who support his dream. The author well depicted a seemingly impossible journey of a teenage boy with autism in this beautiful narrative. It’s a great manifestation that anything is possible even to someone whose reality is unlike most of us. I’m definitely giving this book 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommended it to readers who are into science fiction.
