Endangered Humboldt penguins are temperate-climat- e birds that are commonly found in Peru and Chile in South America. The births are a success story for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. A volunteer group oversees a species survival plan that determines how the penguins are best served in and outside captivity. The group makes recommendations for breeding of the species, which could become extinct in the wild in the next 10 years. It works sort of like a computer dating service, Troutman said.

We will say that this seventh and last book in the Harry Potter saga is like riding a roller coaster: You veer from great excitement at the top and get dizzy and terrified as you plunge down. The terror is part of the fun. but it's still terrifying. or not finding Enjoy out who dies and who survives, who loses a bwiy part, and what in the world "the Deathly Hallows" are. We learn shocking things about characters we thought we knew: Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape. Lily and James Potter, Dobby and Jessica Berry, Kreacher. Llndon, fourth grade And all those hints that J.K. Rowling dropped over the years? If you thought you knew what she meant, you might be surprised. Why, the book doesn't even end on the word she once said it would: "scar." From the very first page, "Harry Potter and ly the Death- Hallows" By J.K. Rowling Ages 9 and older the story barrels ahead faster than the Hogwarts Express. This book, more than the others, is impossible to put down. The ending which will satisfy some and sadden others is as spectacular and dramatic as could be. But roller coasters aren't for everybody. Many young readers might find this book scary and confusing. Now 17, Harry faces the challenges and sorrows of adult life. It's complex stuff. Because of that, this is a kids book that isn't for every kid. For those who love everything about Harry, Rowling does a great job of answering most of your questions. But even after 759 pages, the book might leave you in the same place life often does: wishing you knew a little bit more and wishing you had a little more time. |
