It’s not every day a meteor falls in one’s backyard! “ Based on a true event, this enchanting book overwhelmingly expresses the magic that suddenly pervades a small town, from the funny, folksy way the story is told to the imaginative, full-color illustrations.” --- Publishers Weekly. “ Polacco’s full-color pictures are completely in tandem with the telling. Her energetic angular shapes throb with vitality, and she uses compelling page composition to this story and art together.”---Booklist atarred review
