Fourth grader Sam Hansen loves rocks, but her unabashed passion for geology often stirs up trouble. A trip to the Grand Canyon is promised if Sam can control her temper and get along with her sister. Viau's entertaining protagonist learns a lot about herself and her family, and her love of science makes her a welcome addition to the spunky-girl crowd.
