Hello! My name is Penny, and I love space! Now, people say that nobody
lives on Mars. Let me tell you … that isn’t true! I live here! I live in a big city
called Red Sands. We travel around Red Sands on foot. We travel to
other cities by train. We visit other planets by spaceship, but not very often.
It’s dangerous to travel around space.

I have a mum, a dad and three brothers. I’m the eldest. We have two
hamsters. They are very lazy. My grandparents live with us too. We live in a
cave, and it keeps us safe from storms. Our cave is small, so I share a room
with my younger brother.

Mars is a fun place to live. My favourite activity is climbing rocks. I also like to
ride my bike. I hope I can explore Earth soon! And, of course, you are
welcome on Mars!
