We think of them as ordinary objects, but rocks can do amazing things: there are rocks that glow and rocks that travel through space, rocks that float and rocks that burn. These are only some of the surprises in Weird Rocks, a must-have guide for young rock hounds. Author Michele Corriel introduces readers to sixteen unusual rocks and explains the science behind what each one does and how it does it. Youngsters will discover what makes one kind of rock smell like a rotten egg, what rock acts like a magnet, and what rock contains hidden treasure. High-quality photographs, colorful paintings, and hilarious cartoons add visual delight to this entertaining and informative book.

Michele Corriel is a children's book author and freelance writer living and working in Belgrade, Montana.Her work has taken her from the art galleries of New York City to the back roads of the Rockies. Her middlegrade novels include Fairview Felines: A Newspaper Mystery and True Lies: A Newspaper Mystery. When she's not out rockhounding with Pat, her husband and favorite geologist, she's probably got her nose in a good book.Illustrator Dan Bilyeu lives in Bozeman, Montana, with his dog, Carmel O'Pup; his partner, Stacy Jackson; and her dog The Mighty Fly. He received a degree in art and graphic design in 1995 from Montana State University at Bozeman and has always been interested in illustration and the design of everything from architecture to type. Dan spends his spare time rolling around in vintage cars, owning (though not mastering) many different guitars, and enjoying Montana, a beautiful place to live.
