Rural Route to Mars - Hardcover

Rural Route to Mars tells the story of Robert "Robesy" Agnar, a restless teenager trapped between the dusty farmlands of Nebraska and the stars he dreams of reaching. Battling family tensions, academic struggles-especially with math-and the crushing weight of lost friendship, Robesy's world is one of dirt roads and fading small-town hopes. But one late summer day, everything changes. A mysterious stranger, a strange symbol, and a relic from the past pull Robesy into a reality far beyond the boundaries of his quiet life. In this reality, timelines shift and the fate of worlds might rest on his shoulders. From the harsh earth beneath his feet to the distant red planet, Rural Route to Mars is a story of courage, identity, and the power of dreams to take us places no one could imagine.
