“Red Star Rebels” is a young adult science fiction novel by Amie Kaufman. Hunter is the rich heir of a billionaire family. He travels to Mars to meet with his mom and sister. Cleo is a teen who has been living in secret on Mars trying to eke out a living while avoiding her shady past. When the Mars base goes on lockdown due to a criminal takeover, Hunter and Cleo must work together to save themselves. Kaufman’s trademark humor makes this a fun read, though predictable at times. A suggested purchase for YA science fiction collections, especially where Kaufman is popular.
