FIRST SENTENCE: At sunrise, the sun, low in the sky, peeks through the dusty air.

SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] What is dust?
More than you think.

What can it do?
You will be surprised.

Dust may seem small,
dark, dirty, and dull.
But it's the secret
behind one of the
largest, most colorful
sights on earth.

THOUGHTS: I'm in my twenties and I thought this book was awesome. Sayre takes a mundane subject and makes it utterly magical. Her writing is lyrical and the words are beautifully illustrated.

You will never look at dust the same way again.

RATING: 8/10 [Terrific]
