The Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe, The Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science, by Michael S. Schneider, a high school math teacher (though it is written for adults, smart teens will enjoy it as well).
This is a great science book for layperson to expert, and anybody interested in Astronomy, Mathematics, Art, Music, Religion...or Pot.
Each chapter is dedicated to one number from 1-10. It is full of interesting diagrams, quotes, illustrations...oh, and words! It is especially good for growers. Chapter five deals with the number five and plant growth and structure, the golden mean/ratio, etc.
Even if you hate science, you will enjoy this book. It is the opposite of dry, though calling it wet doesn't seem to make much sense. If you believe that the universe has no order, read this book.
The Universe may be a Mystery, but it's no Secret!
