The Jupiter Chronicles Review

Book Blurb

A war has been fought and lost by the Jovians. Now the answer to their freedom lies within the Great Red Spot and it’s up to Ian and Callie to uncover its secret. It is the year 1892 and Ian and Callie Castillo have had to suffer the hardships of a single parent family since their father went missing five years ago. Since then Ian has refused to use the last gift that his father left the wounded boy; a telescope that sits collecting dust in the attic. When Callie decides to peer through its murky lens it activates the device and sends the Castillo’s to the steam-powered floating cities of Jupiter to rescue their father and free the Jovians before the Martians launch their final attack. What follows is the beginning of an era that will forever be known by its strange name…Steampunk. The Jupiter Chronicles series takes flight with the first book in the series…The Secret of the Great Red Spot.

My Review

This was such a fun book. I’ve seen more and more of the steampunk theme lately so I was excited to read this. Ian and Callie miss their father terribly. A chance run in with his telescope one night sends them off on an amazing adventure to Jupiter; where they discover not only is their father alive, he’s part of an alien race trying to save his home planet. I loved the descriptions of the different characters and the “sci-fi” feel of the whole story. i’d definitely like to read about what comes next for these kids and their dad. 5/5 from me!
