"Even if you're an adult, it doesn't change the fact that it's a really great story that people get hooked on." Dracula, however, has nothing on the great white shark. Susan Casey went in search of the vicious sea creatures in one of their native habitats, a string of wind-whipped rock outcroppings called the Farallon Islands, about 25 miles west of San Francisco.

Rumors have been as prolific as a sorcerer's apprentice's broom, and as impossible to verify as a crystal ball's revelations. "There is a huge amount of security around the book right up to the moment the clock strikes midnight," Richard Cristofoli, an executive at British bookseller WH Smith, told Reuters. J.K. Rowling had been warning all along that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the sixth of her world-conquering fantasy series, would include the death of a major character. (See book review.) Her promise was fulfilled, although it didn't make her fans, no matter the age, any more prepar "There's nothing quite like Harry Potter in publishing," Bookseller magazine children's book expert Caroline Horn told Reuters.
