It is the year 1892 and Ian and Callie Castillo have had to suffer the hardships of a single parent family since their father went missing five years ago. Since then Ian has refused to use the last gift that his father left the wounded boy; a telescope that sits collecting dust in the attic.
When Callie decides to peer through its murky lens it activates the device and sends the Castillos to the steam-powered floating cities of Jupiter to rescue their father and save the Jovians before the Martians launch their attack.
What follows is the beginning of an era that will forever be known by its strange name...Steampunk.

FIVE STARS! *****Fast paced and an engaging read. The transformation of the telescope into a space ship and Ian and Callie's trip to Jupiter will really thrill young readers. The presence of steam engines, gadgets, and planet Jupiter makes it a fun story. Ian and Callie are developed well. A simple story with a science fiction theme that is intriguing.
The author has done an excellent job and the 'Jupiter Facts' at the end of the book are very informative for children. A thrilling science fiction story filled with excitement and mystery.

From the Author
Here's an excerpt!
The Portal
"Callie! What do you think you‟re doing?" Ian shouted.�"I told you not to touch that!"
Callie jumped. "Aah! You scared me!"
Ian angrily stomped towards Callie. The telescope started to hum. A second later, it shook. Smoke rushed out from the base of the telescope and the tripod legs collapsed. Ian stared at it in shock, while Callie smiled from ear to ear. The eyepiece then pointed itself towards�Callie. A beam of light shot out from the eyepiece directly at Callie and a voice from the base spoke, in a deep voice.
Recognize Castillo, Callista 004The eyepiece then turned to Ian and, after a beam of light
enveloped him, the same voice stated:
Recognize Castillo, Ian 003
Portal enabled.
The voice spoke one last time.
Prepare for launch.

About the Author
Leonardo Ramirez is a husband, a father, a Karate instructor with a 3rd degree black belt, and a writer. His first graphic novel, Haven of Dante, is a supernatural Young Adult story centered on an ancient war between the Dante family and the nine circles of hell. Haven of Dante: The Staff of Moshe takes readers much deeper into the world of the family line with a prologue that begins with the plight of Dante Alighieri himself!
His follow up is a Children's Steampunk book called The Jupiter Chronicles: The Secret of the Great Red Spot. It follows the adventure of two children as they are transported to the steam-powered cities of Jupiter, find their long-lost father, stop an attack from Mars, and witness the birth of Steampunk.
My heart and motive have always been for people who are hurting. These can be kids who have had to suffer through child abuse or neglect or an absent parent which can be equally torturous as was the case in The Jupiter Chronicles. It can also be young girls who have suffered an assault like Haven did in Haven of Dante. Young or old it doesn't matter. Those are the kids and adults I want to speak to because I've been there.
It's not just Science Fiction.
It's Science Fiction for the Human Condition.
Leonardo Ramirez lives with his wife Kristen, their daughter Mackenzy and their two dogs, Duchess and Tinkerbell in Nolensville, Tennessee.

Engaging Fantasy Adventure for Kids
By Deanna Blanchard
Life has been tough for Ian and Callie since their father went missing five years ago. Ian is so hurt by his father's disappearance that he refuses to touch the last gift he gave him - a very unusual telescope.
Younger sister Callie thinks Ian's refusal to look into the telescope is ridiculous. So she sneaks a peek into it - and is surprised when the instrument transforms into a sort of space ship.
The kids are even more shocked when the machine whisks them to Jupiter.
Ian and Callie are quickly apprehended by the Martian Emperor Phobos and his Doomslayer forces, who had taken over the planet in their father's absence. It turns out that their father is part of the ruling family on Jupiter - and he was kidnapped from earth and held prisoner.
It's up to Ian and Callie to rescue their father and set the Jovians (the inhabitants of Jupiter) free from the evil Emperor Phobos' rule.
Is this a good book for your child to read? Let's take a closer look...
The Good Stuff:
Family values stand front and center in "The Jupiter Chronicles." The hurt and hardships of dealing with the absence of a husband and father are not sugar-coated. It's obvious that both Ian and his mom, Camilla, are struggling to cope.
As for Ian and Callie, they are typical siblings. They pick on each other and fuss at each other, but they have each other's backs. And Ian takes care to watch out for his young sister on their adventures.
Plus, Ian, Callie, their father Peter, and their new-found robot friend, Stinky Frank all exhibit the good character qualities of bravery, determination and loyalty.
Violence:
As a fantasy-adventure story, "The Jupiter Chronicles" does contain some action violence, but it's appropriate for the intended reading audience. For example:
- Ian and Callie are taken prisoner on Jupiter by a squad of enormous Doomslayer robots and thrown in prison.
- When the kids are forced to basically fight for their lives in the Drifterdash games, Ian rigs a couple of weapons that they use to literally annihilate their Doomslayer opponents.
- On two separate occasions, Ian shoots Doomslayers out of the sky when they attack their space ship. Ian also puts on his Fireflight - a contraption that allows him to fly - and blasts away at Doomslayers outside of the ship.
Magic, Sorcery and Spirituality:
Although "The Jupitor Chronicles" is a fantasy story, there is no magic or sorcery to be found. As for spirituality, Ian and Callie's mom, Camilla, prays every night for the safe return of her children.
Sexual Content:
None
Drugs and Alcohol:
None
Foul Language:
None
My Two Cents:
"The Jupiter Chronicles Book One: The Secret of the Great Red Spot" is exactly what the author intended it to be...
...A simple flight of fancy that any parent would feel comfortable allowing their child to read.
Its strong family message and emphasis on good values is refreshing. And its Star Wars-like adventure would be an enjoyable read for kids.
As a critical adult, I only had a couple of small problems with the book. One is that it's difficult to determine when the story is taking place. The main clue is that they use candles for light. The promotional materials say the story takes place in 1892, but that is not made clear in the book.
Also, it's unclear as to how Ian is able to create weapons on a technically-advanced planet. Yes, he likes to take apart his toys and rebuild them. But that's a far cry from rigging space guns. And speaking of guns, how did these kids manage to be such crack shots? If they lived in 1892, they certainly didn't learn their technique on video games.
But aside from these minor issues, I highly recommend this chapter book for six to eight-year-old readers.

A fun new series to share and enjoy!
By Barb Mayo
The Jupiter Chronicles: The Secret of the Great Red Spot, is the first book in Leonardo Ramirez' Children's Steampunk series. The story opens with brother and sister, Ian and Callie Castillo living with their mother, Camilla, a single parent ever since her husband Peter left years before. The kids are your typical brother versus sister duo, but what happens next is anything but typical. I won't spoil the surprise - although you can guess from the book's title - but I will say that you're in for a fast-paced ride through the universe, where you will encounter one of the most endearing characters I've ever run into: Stinky Frank. He's brave, resourceful, loyal, and well, stinky.
Mr. Ramirez weaves numerous fun scientific facts throughout the book, and includes a few important life lessons as well, namely no matter how "awful" you think your sibling is, they're usually your best ally in life, and most importantly: sometimes parents leave, but it's never the fault of the child.
Younger and/or reluctant readers will find this an exciting read, and older ones will zip through it in one sitting.
I cannot WAIT for the next installment of The Jupiter Chronicles - and I'm a grandmother!

Fantastic and captivating for all audiences! 5 stars!
By Amazon Customer
The Secret of the Red Spot is a captivating Sci-Fi story of two siblings, Ian and Callie, who discovered a mysterious secret of a telescope hidden in the attic which leads them to an exciting outer space journey to the unknown. The story unfolds itself to an adventure on Jupiter revealing the truth about their father, Peter, and then a quest to rescue him. Captured by the Doomslayers, an order from Emperor Phobos, Ian and Callie escape with the help of a friendly Doomslayer named "Stinky Frank" learning the mysteries of the three Orbs that bring balance to Jupiter.
The protagonists are believable characters shown with realistic dialogues between a brother and sister. Their comical behavior and verbal exchanges connects the reader. The book includes an insightful reference guide to illustrate the terms, tools, and weapons used in the story.
Author, Leonardo Ramirez, writes with vivid imagery allowing the reader to visualize characteristics of every scene. Moreover, the plot has an emotional value highlighting themes of "Home is where the Heart Is", courage, and forgiveness.
The Secret of the Red Spot is an excellent read suitable for an audience of all ages. I highly recommend it!
