A mother-daughter story of an adventure-filled search for the
amazing aurora borealis. Alix and her mom are fascinated by the
nighttime light displays in the sky known as auroras, or northern
lights, but being able to see them in person proves to be more
challenging than expected. Where do they appear? When? How could
Alix and her mom get there to see the auroras before they disappear
from the sky? Inspired by the authors’ own experiences, A Search
for the Northern Lights brings the reader along on a fascinating
journey as Alix and her mom eagerly learn what auroras are and how
to find them. The book also includes science and more information
on auroras, plus a helpful guide for those hoping to catch their
own glimpse of the incredible northern lights.
On June 10, 2003, a little rover named Spirit blasted off on a rocket headed for Mars. On July 7, 2003, a twin rover named Opportunity soared through the solar system with the same mission: to find out if Mars ever had water that could have supported life. A thrilling addition to the acclaimed Scientists in the Field series, The Mighty Mars Rovers tells the greatest space robot adventure of all time through the eyes--and heart--of Steven Squyres, professor of astronomy at Cornell University and lead scientist on the mission.
This suspenseful page-turner captures the hair-raising human emotions felt during the adventures with two tough rovers.

Meet Flo, a glacier, as she shows you what the life of a glacier is
like in this picture book filled with fun facts, from what glaciers
are and how they’re formed to what creatures live there, and
more. Glaciers exist on every continent on earth, growing,
spreading, and shrinking over thousands of years. But what are
they, and how are they formed? Glacier on the Move tells the story
of a glacier named Flo and her slow-motion race to the sea, from
the edge of an ice field and down steep cliffs, to muscling her way
around mountains, and stretching into a valley. With the help of
some iceworms in the margins, Flo reveals how glaciers move, change
shape, and provide for the surrounding world and animals. Blending
fascinating science facts with dynamic illustrations, Glacier on
the Move introduces young readers to glacial history and science in
a captivating and unique way.

Move over, Thomas Edison Nikola Tesla takes the spotlight in a
biography of the man who pioneered modern electrical engineering --
and changed the course of history.
When a Serbian boy named Nikola Tesla was three, he stroked his cat
and was enchanted by the electrical sparks. By the time he was a
teenager, he had made a vow: Someday I will turn the power of
Niagara Falls into electricity. Here is the story of the ambitious
young man who brought life-changing ideas to America, despite the
obstructive efforts of his hero-turned-rival, Thomas Edison. From
using alternating current to light up the Chicago World's Fair to
harnessing Niagara to electrify New York City and beyond, Nikola
Tesla was a revolutionary ahead of his time. Remote controls,
fluorescent lights, X-rays, speedometers, cell phones, even the
radio -- all resulted from Nikola Tesla's inventions. Established
biographer Elizabeth Rusch sheds light on this extraordinary
figure, while fine artist Oliver Dominguez brings his life and
inventions to vivid color.
Back matter includes additional information about Tesla, scientific
notes and explanations, source notes, a bibliography, and
suggestions for further reading.
