About Jane’s Trip to Mars

Eight-year-old Jane, an ordinary English girl from an ordinary English town, is taken to the planet Mars by Zog, a representative of the King of Mars.

She is needed there to teach the king’s children the backwards alphabet that will be presented in honor of the queen’s birthday. Hopefully Jane’s efforts will help alleviate the queen’s sadness, since she is lonely after her sister moved far way from Mars. The queen and her sister used to recite the backwards alphabet together when they were younger. Will Jane’s efforts make the Queen of Mars happy?

This imaginative fantasy tells how one little girl can make a difference helping others, even after crossing space to experience other cultures.
