You've got to read Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything

It's not just about one topic.. except for the topic of Bryson being a polymath in all the best ways.

This may be a little above the age range you're looking for, but Bill Bryson's short history of nearly everything is a brilliant introduction to some of the coolest aspects of science and technology. Had a profound influence on me as a kid.

The first chapter of Bill Bryson's Short Hisory of Nearly Everything does a good job of putting the universe in perspective.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Short-History-Of-Nearly-Everything/dp/0552997048 Absolutely brilliant book for Science related knowledge. Brief chapters on a lot of things, ranging from the Big Bang to Evolution etc.

Other things to do is read newspapers, magazine (informative magazine, I read How it Works and New Scientist. I'd like to subscribe to more but can't afford it currently.
