Meteor!

[1] The story is about Patricia, her brother Richard, and Cousin Steve as young children spending time with their grandparents on their farm in Michigan.

According to Publishers Weekly, "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.

Late one night while sitting in their cozy home, a bright light falls from the sky landing in the Gaw's farm with a loud crash.

One line in the book reads, “Of all the places on earth a meteor could have fallen, it landed smack-dab in the middle of our yard, Gramma exclaimed.” This was such a huge deal for the residents of Mudsock Medow.

It seemed like magic to all that the fallen star, which flew through the galaxy, had landed in Union City and brought such joy to all.
