Description
During a field trip to Mount Olympus, Belle Song accidentally injures her leg on a strange rock. The rock turns out to be a rare and valuable mineral that can make space travel much more efficient. The planet's biggest mining company, BAMCorp, wants to claim the site for itself. But mining the mineral could threaten much of Mars' all-important water supply. Things soon get tense when protestors begin to clash with company officials. Belle and her classmates want to help defend Mars' water too. But they soon learn that the issue is more complex than they realized. Will a solution be reached that can prove helpful to everyone?
