Reviews

“This book definitely is full of fiction from the talking rats to having Mortimer use YouTube! The author made it fun to read and it’s easy to follow along with the story.”
– Jack H., 7, Central Florida Mensa

“It’s a beautiful combination of storytelling and non-fiction. Joan Marie Galat seamlessly integrates so much fascinating information about astronauts and the ISS while telling an engaging story about a determined little lab rat.”


“A fun, fast-paced adventure, perfect for kids who love animals or outer space.”


– L.E. Carmichael, author of How Do Video Games Work? and The Boreal Forest: A Year in the World’s Largest Biome

“Details about the space station come alive as the story unfolds. A fun read and the 27 chapters move along at a quick pace. A perfect addition to the middle grade shelves.”


– Greg Pattridge

“An absolutely charming adventure. Fans of The Secret of NIMH will love this!”


– Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Far-Seer

“Mortimer’s adventures provide an exciting and funny story for readers to follow along. With a narrator like Mortimer, readers are never bored and are always laughing at his jokes and pranks. Galat has written a story with an extremely loveable nar-rat-tor, a character readers will remember for a long time to come.” Highly Recommended.
