This book is about
The friends go to 'The Museum of the Future' to see the 'Journey to Mars' exhibit. Aisha, Ant's Aunt, has been working on this exhibit. Aisha shows the children around the museum, but then gets a 'phone call to say that Mr. Grey from Supercorp is about to visit. Supercorp fund the project. Aisha is worried because Mr. Grey might not think the project is good because there were some glitches that needed fixing. The children 'micro-size' and go through an air vent to enter the display. They find some loose connections and fix them. When they finish, they go onto the control deck. While they are there, Mr. Grey arrives, so they have to pretend to be part of the display. Mr. Grey enjoyed the exhibition and said that he couldn't wait to bring his son to see it.

The main characters are
Ant, Cat, Max, Tiger and Aisha.

My favourite part of the book is
It was funny when Ant yelped when the astronaut suit toppled out.

I would also like to say
I thought the exhibition looked good.

The children are invited to have a tour around the new museum, The Museum of the Future. The Journey to Mars project is not working. When Mr. Grey 'phones to say that he is coming to see the project, this is bad news because he might take his funding away. The children shrink and go inside the project to repair it. When Mr. Grey arrives they have to pretend to be characters that are flying the spaceship. Mr. Grey really enjoys the project.

The main characters are
Max, Cat, Ant and Tiger.

My favourite part of the book is
When the children fly the spaceship.

I would also like to say
This Project X book does not have Dr. X in.
