One of the most iconic Native American leaders, Sitting Bull stood as a symbol of resistance, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the Lakota people. As the relentless expansion of the United States threatened the traditional ways of the Lakota, Sitting Bull became a powerful force, unifying various Lakota tribes and leading them in the fight for their homeland and way of life. Through an informative timeline and in-depth sidebars, this volume showcases Sitting Bull's legacy: a testament to the strength and resilience of indigenous peoples and the enduring power of leadership in the face of adversity.

Mars has been a source of fascination for thousands of years. Ray Bradbury's classic novel, The Martian Chronicles, was published in 1950, a full 15 years before the first up-close photographs of Mars were taken by Mariner 4. As time went on and technology advanced, scientists started to realize that a manned mission to Mars could one day be possible. However, many stumbling blocks remain before that point can be reached. Vivid full-color photographs and detailed graphic organizers help young readers visualize what such a mission might entail--and whether it could happen in their lifetime.
