It’s hard to fall in love with an earnest，appealing young hero like Harry Potter and then to watch helplessly as he steps into terrible danger！ And in J。K.Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets，the much anticipated sequel to the award-winning Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone，he is in terrible danger indeed。As if it’s not bad enough that after a long summer with the horrid Dursleys he is thwarted in his attempts to hop the train to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his second year。But when his only transportation option is a magical flying car，it is just his luck to crash into a valuable （but clearly vexed） Whomping Willow。Still，all this seems like a day in the park compared to what happens that fall within the haunted halls of Hogwarts。 Chilling，malevolent voices whisper from the walls only to Harry， and it seems certain that his classmate Draco Malfoy is out to get him。 Soon it’s not just Harry who is worried about surviva

The Spartan-II program has gone public. Tales of super-soldiers fending off thousands of Covenant attacks have become the stuff of legend. But just how many Spartans are left? While the Master Chief defends a besieged Earth, and the myriad factions of the Covenant continue their crusade to eliminate humanity, an ultrasecret cell of the Office of Naval Intelligence known as Section Three devises a plan to buy the UNSC vital time. They're going to need hundreds of willing soldiers, though ...and one more Spartan to get the job done. The planet Onyx is virtually abandoned and the perfect place to set this new plan in motion. But when the Master Chief destroys Halo, something is triggered deep within Onyx: Ancient Forerunner technology stirs, and fleets of UNSC and Covenant race to claim it to change the course of the Human-Covenant War. But this reawakened and ancient force may have plans of its own ...

PreSchool-Grade 3—Large, attention-grabbing watercolor illustrations accurately depict the life of a house sparrow, one of our country's most common nonnative species, including mating, nest-building, and raising chicks. A variety of layouts, from full-page to small vignettes that are still usable with groups of children, makes this a natural for classroom sharing or storytimes. Individual children who spend time one-on-one with the book will discover small dramas at play, such as cats stalking birds and families out for neighborhood walks. The most basic information appears in a large font on the left side of each spread, while other brief, smaller-font paragraphs reveal more specific facts about the creatures' lives, such as how they find food and build nests; thus the reading experience can be tailored to a variety of attention spans. Although this book is a European import, as are house sparrows, the author includes five paragraphs at the book's end about sparrows native to North America. Those who don'
