THE ZOO AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD By: Eric Kahn GaleThis book is quite an adventure. Marlin is the younger son of the world famous Roland Rackham. His father has built a zoo on a dark continent. People come from all over the country to see this amazing zoo.
Marlin has a big problem, he is teased by his older brother and he has a terrible stutter. But he only stutters when he talks to people. Speaking to animals has never been an issue. Then one day his father brings home a jaguar and the jaguar casts a spell on him. Now he can not only talk to the animals, but they understand him. When a royal family comes to visit with their daughter she realizes that Marlin has special abilities. They quickly become friends. But then something terrible happens to one of the employees and Marlin knows he has to do something. What he chooses you will just have to read to find out. I read this aloud to my seven year old grandson and he loved it. Ages 8-12 Balzer & Bray. $16.99 Will be available 8/26/2014
