His first stop is Mars, where he meets a friendly Martian named Marti. Marti introduces Arlo to the Red Planet, sharing fascinating facts like Mars' rusty landscape and the towering Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in the solar system.
Next, Arlo is whisked away to Jupiter, where he lands on the planet's cloud-like surface. Marti tells him about Jupiter's massive size, its Great Red Spot (a storm that has been raging for centuries), and the planet's numerous moons.
Finally, Arlo is transported to the rings of Saturn, where the serene beauty of the icy rings leaves him in awe. Marti explains that the rings are made of ice and rock, making Saturn one of the most recognisable planets.
Arlo is pulled back to Earth, finding himself back on top of the campervan, wondering if it was all just a dream.
The story beautifully combines the wonder of space exploration with a sense of peace and curiosity, leaving readers with a warm, imaginative experience.
