(Her mom is a respected veterinarian with a successful clinic, so it's not that much of a stretch.)Just like the Ibizan, Natalie is very mindful of her master's rules, but at the first sign of freedom, she is prone to stray. Actually, Natalie has been trained so well that sometimes she thinks her mother is secretly controlling her with a dog whistle. Natalie herself resembles an Ibizan hound-quiet, playful, loyal, smart, and above all, obedient. When 16-year-old Natalie Kaplan meets a new person, she knows right away what kind of dog they'd be.

Scientists call this a coronal mass ejection (CME). The origin of the aurora begins on the surface of the sun when solar activity ejects a cloud of gas. Sten Odenwald, author of The 23rd Cycle: learning to live with a stormy star (New York, Columbia University Press, c2001), provides insight into how northern lights are generated: Northern lights are also called by their scientific name, aurora borealis, and southern lights are called aurora australis.
