The Meteor Shower:
Kaleidoscope Club Series Book #2
Two friends explore the wonders of the night sky and learn the meaning of courage, community action, and friendship in a new STEAM adventure.
Kaleidoscope Club besties Nour and August plan a nighttime meteor shower watch party in their club garden. Excited to map constellations and see shooting stars using their new telescope, they research astronomy, build a space capsule, and even organize a dark-sky campaign to reduce harmful light pollution in their community.
​
As they convince businesses to turn off their lights, a traveling fair arrives, presenting new challenges to their friendship. But when a new friend that Nour wasn’t sure about saves their stargazing party, the Kaleidoscope Club friends learn that growing up means making room for new adventures and people.
​
The Meteor Shower is book two in the new Kaleidoscope Club chapter book series, with full-color illustrations throughout—a perfect series for readers ages seven to ten interested in friendship and learning more about nature, empathy, and STEAM.
