Sevengill: Shark & Me

My kids love this book, they are ages 9,7, & 4. This book has led us on a search for Sevengill sharks, for which we are slowly finding more info on. This book is written so the end of each chapter makes my kids begging "for just one more"! LOL If your kids or if any adults, have any interest in sharks and want to read something other than a boring documentary, get this book, it is filled with cool info and written quite well. Enjoy!

As a diver at Marine World/Africa USA it was part of Don Reed's job to swim with sharks. He fed them and cleaned their tank. At first he was afraid when he felt a scratchy stomach brush past him or saw an approaching pair of jaws. Soon, however, he grew used to the sharks. He was even comfortable with them, admiring their strength and agility. He especially cared for Sevengill, a massive brown shark with black spots and golden eyes. Sevengill did not scare Don Reed. He began to trust her...Until the terifying day he felt her teeth. Then he realized his mistake. A shark can never be someone's pet. From the back cover of the book.
