Down to Earth

Betty Culley

Henry Bower has always been fascinated by rocks. So, when a meteorite falls in his family's field, who better to investigate than this rock enthusiast -- along with his best friend, James, and his little sister, Birdie. The small town of Lowington, Maine, is home to generations of Bowers, who use forked branches to search for underground water. When the water in town starts drying up, rumors spreads that Henry's space rock might be the cause, and and some people blame the Bowers. 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
