Description:

Mortimer, a journal-keeping lab rat on the International Space Station, is determined to prove his species is best suited to colonizing Mars. He records the results in his journal, uses a secret code, and makes videos for his YouTube channel. Discover how you too can write like a rat.  Based on the novel Mortimer: Rat Race to Space (DCB), this fun creative writing workshop is hosted by the author of the book, Joan Marie Galat. 

Joan Marie Galat is an international award-winning author of more than 25 books. Her newest middle grade title—Mortimer: Rat Race to Space (DCB)—is about a journal-writing lab rat who sets out to use science and YouTube to prove his species is best suited to colonizing Mars. Joan’s STEM-themed books include Solve This! Wild and Wacky Challenges for the Genius Engineer in You (National Geographic Kids) and Dot to Dot in the Sky, Stories of the Aurora (Whitecap Books)—a Crystal Kite Award winner. Writing from the Edmonton area, Joan works with two noisy budgies who won’t stay off her keyboard.
