epic journey through time. Through ice ages, meteor showers, and earthquakes, readers experience the formation of an ancient treasure. Meanwhile, somewhere in the present, a little girl sets out on a hike with her family. The two stories collide when the little girl finds something SPECTACULAR on the side of a trail-a treasure forged over the course of hundreds of MILLIONS of years all leading to this very moment-the discovery of a precious heart rock.
Why I like this book: Something spectacular: A Rock’s Journey offers readers insight into nature and rocks. It covers different aspects of rocks and human’s interest in them. It’s an interesting way to introduce timelines without including time and can teach readers about rocks without being too scientific in its approach.
