[meteorite-list] Need basic book recommendations

Dear List: I am giving a talk on meteorites to a middle school class in a month. Does anyone have any recommendations for books that are written for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade level? I think Kevin Kichinka's book might be good, but Norton's might be a little too much for them. Any suggestions?

Re: [meteorite-list] Cold hunting

The comment was made that: If you want to reduce search time per (cold) meteorite find (i.e. non-strewnfield), the #1 factor is survival time -- you must maximize it any way you can: 1. Low deposition rate -- ideally a ~negative~ deposition rate: you'd prefer a surface that is deflating 2.
