About this product
Product Information
Dr. Greg Skomal, biologist and head of the Massachusetts Shark Research Program, is investigating a controversial possibility: Might Cape Cod's waters serve as a breeding ground for the great white shark, the largest and most feared predatory fish on Earth? Sy Montgomery and Keith Ellenbogen report on this thrilling turning point in marine research and travel to Guadeloupe, Mexico, to get up close and personal with the sharks. This daring expedition into the realm of great whites shows readers that in order to save the planet and its creatures, we must embrace our humanity and face our greatest fears. This is an ideal read for Shark Week or anytime!

Reviews
Kirkus Best Books of 2016 * "Exceptionally written and highly recommended for those looking to give a timely summer boost to STEM collections." --School Library Journal, STARRED review * "Readers interested in marine biology in general or great white sharks in particular will find the text informative and the you-are-there immediacy of the writing exciting." --Booklist, STARRED review * "This appreciative introduction to a much-maligned species will thrill readers while it encourages them to see great white sharks in a new way." --Kirkus, STARRED review "One minute Montgomery recounts the technical details of shark tracking, the next minute relays the steps she needs to take to be safe on the ocean, and the next narrates an all-out shark chase, as researchers on a boat and in a plane work together in a successful shark identification bonanza. This approach fully immerses readers in the field research experience, as do the excellent photographs of people, sharks, and the environment. In, on, and especially above the ocean, Ellenbogen captures the majesty of the great whites as well as the beauty and impermanence of the Atlantic barrier islands, dunes, and shoreline." --Horn Book "Montgomery's play-by-play narration and Ellenbogen's dramatic photos give the scientific excursion a thrilling sense of immediacy that should leave readers feeling like they're along for the voyage." --Publishers Weekly "Montgomery goes to great, and often humorous, lengths to put the actual danger of shark-on-human attack into perspective (annual average number of people killed by sharks--11; of sharks killed by people--100,000,000), but when dealing with fish prone to devour their unborn siblings, there's still ample delight for thrill seekers." --Bulletin, * "Readers interested in marine biology in general or great white sharks in particular will find the text informative and the you-are-there immediacy of the writing exciting." --Booklist, STARRED review * "This appreciative introduction to a much-maligned species will thrill readers while it encourages them to see great white sharks in a new way." --Kirkus, STARRED review, Kirkus Best of 2016 Nonfiction Detectives: Best of 2016 * "Exceptionally written and highly recommended for those looking to give a timely summer boost to STEM collections." --School Library Journal, STARRED review * "Readers interested in marine biology in general or great white sharks in particular will find the text informative and the you-are-there immediacy of the writing exciting." --Booklist, STARRED review * "This appreciative introduction to a much-maligned species will thrill readers while it encourages them to see great white sharks in a new way." --Kirkus, STARRED review "One minute Montgomery recounts the technical details of shark tracking, the next minute relays the steps she needs to take to be safe on the ocean, and the next narrates an all-out shark chase, as researchers on a boat and in a plane work together in a successful shark identification bonanza.
