This cool book mixes the fictional adventures with a real robot and real jobs the robot did to tell readers about Opportunity aka Oppy and the planet Mars. Oppy was only supposed to go on a 90 day mission but actually got to be a teenager. They spent 14 years exploring. This story was just darling and great for science nuts and everyone else.
