The Martian 2

The Martian: A Young Readers Edition by Andy Weir is a fast-paced science fiction survival story that makes real-world science feel thrilling, not homework. It follows astronaut Mark Watney after a violent storm cuts him off from his crew and leaves him stranded on Mars—alone, injured, and with no way to tell Earth he’s still alive.

With limited supplies and a planet that’s hostile at every turn, Mark leans on engineering know-how, problem-solving, and a stubborn sense of humour to tackle one crisis after another. This young readers edition keeps the tension and clever science while offering classroom-appropriate language, plus discussion questions, activities, and a Q&A with Weir.

Perfect for teen readers, STEM-curious bookworms, and anyone who loves space exploration, action, and smart adventure that rewards curiosity.

Add it to your shelf and see how far ingenuity can take you.
