Synopsis:
Counting by 7s meets See You in the Cosmos
in this heartwarming coming-of-age story perfect for the budding geologists and
those fascinated by the mysteries of the universe.
Henry has always been fascinated by rocks.
As a homeschooler, he pours through the R volume of the encyclopedia to help
him identify the rocks he finds. So, when a meteorite falls in his family’s
field, who better to investigate than this rock enthusiast–with his best
friend, James, and his little sister, Birdie, in tow, of course.
But soon after the meteorite’s arrival, the
water in Henry’s small Maine town starts drying up. It’s not long before news
spreads that the space rock and Henry’s family might be to blame. Henry is
determined to defend his newest discovery, but his knowledge of geology could
not have prepared him for how much this stone from the sky would change his
community, his family, and even himself.
Science and wonder abound in this
middle-grade debut about an inquisitive boy and the massive rock that came down
to Earth to reshape his life.
