The Martian by Andy Weir

Astronaut Mark Watney is stranded and completely alone on Mars, with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive, but Mark isn't ready to give up. Drawing on his engineering skills, he faces each obstacle with resourcefulness, but will it be enough to survive?

Recommended by Ms. Charpentier, Librarian: “Suspenseful and hilarious. Mark’s log entries are sarcastic, but also so real you finish the book feeling like you, too, could grow potatoes on Mars.”
