Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

On a quiet spring morning, something strange falls from the sky and lands on a small country town. Lucky watches as stars rain down on the fields and farms, but just what are these unusual objects? And what will Lucky do with her own special find?

Lucky's Star explores the fascinating true story of the Murchison meteorite. The pieces of space rock that were discovered in Murchison, Victoria, provided clues about the origins of life on Earth. Fragments from the meteorite contain the oldest material ever found — stardust!

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
