Fast paced story about the shark attacks in 1916. Quick read, not too graphic for a younger audience. Exciting and has a nice message about friendship and family.

I'm not sure how I didn't know about this event, but the graphic novel sure made me aware. How scary for those involved. Sharks have a bad name and this is one of the reasons. This story wasn't one of the favorites that I have read, but I still love this series though, just a fun way to feel like you lived part of the history. Understand it a bit more.

This was a pretty good adaptation. I definitely liked the original better, and I was hoping for better artwork, but it was ok.

I read this author's book I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 years ago. Loved it. Then I read the I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 in the I Survived True Stories with that story in it. Loved it, too. Now I see that there is the story in graphic novel form. So exciting with the illustrations and I loved this one too. I am an absolute fan of these stories, fiction and the true stories. I hope the author keeps putting them out.
