"Un grupo de nueve compañeros de clase se unen para formar un club. No son perfectos, en realidad nadie lo es. Su intención es luchar contra las injusticias en un intento valiente de hacer un mundo más justo como reflejo del que quieren encontrar cuando sean mayores. Las acciones anti que protagonizan, los unen más que ninguna otra cosa desde sexto de primaria a tercero de ESO. "
Este es un libro muy especial y muy espacial, ya que toda la acción transcurre en el espacio y además los protagonistas son solo niños. Pero no son niños a lomos de una vaca con alas ni sufren pesadillas producidas por una indigestión de melocotones porque su autor, Luis Ruiz de Gopegui, es un científico. Este es su primer libro dedicado a los niños y en él nos cuenta todo lo que razonablemente habría que hacer para llegar al planeta Marte. Luis lo sabe bien porque siguió desde la estación espacial de la NASA en España las operaciones que hicieron posible la llegada del hombre a la Luna.
