4.5 stars (why aren't half stars a thing yet?)
Terrific middle grades fiction. Perfect for kids interested in geology and astronomy but also has a fully formed plot and some nice characterization. Takes place in Maine but has a tie-in to the NYC Natural History Museum so would be a fun addition to a field trip visit. I just happen to be going to the museum today and I know I am now super excited to see a meteorite I had no idea existed three hours ago!
