|  | Borrowed Tides by Paul Levinson
Disasters strike on the first expedition to Alpha Centaruri; there is a mutiny, a death, a birth--none of which are particularly good for crew morale. All this, though, is nothing compared to what the crew finds once it reaches its destination. AUTHOR: Paul Levinson

 | Birds That Don't Fly by Bobbie Kalman
At 350 pounds (160 kg), ostriches may be too heavy to fly but boy can they run -- up to 40 miles (64 km) per hour! In ancient Rome, teams of ostriches were often used instead of horses in chariot races. Birds that don`t fly features the twenty types of birds that can`t get off the ground. This book explores how and why penguins, emus, and kiwis, among other birds have evolved to suit the unique conditions of their habitats or hunting behaviors. Full-color photos enhance the easy-to-read text that shows children a range of flightless birds, how they live and how some, like the dodo, have become extinct. AUTHOR: Bobbie Kalman
