Review Quotes

"Follow a shark's ocean adventures through a video-cam attached to its head. . . . For young shark lovers. A predator that acts against type makes for a fun, gentle narrative."

--School Library Journal "June 2023"

"For pre-readers familiar with screens and too young for Jaws. . . . The use of simple, short words makes it a solid choice, and the bright graphics convincingly simulate a camera's-eye view."--Kirkus "5/15/23"
