I relly like the books, they r relly cool
Nice book i read about a boy who faces a life long impact challenge of getting his leg bitten off, by the great white shark!
My brother loves sharks and read this book. He said it was really good! Since it's based on a true story, it makes the book just a little bit better! (:
A boy named Chet lives in a peaceful town and works at his uncles diner. One day his friends invite him to go swimming in the local creek. His whole life will be changed. He saw a sharks fin coming down the creek and yells "Sharks in the water!" But nobody listens. Chet dives in to pull out his friend but he got bit in the leg.
This shark book kept me on the edge of my seat. Every little move kept me wanting more and more of this book. The thing that surprised me most was where the shark attack took place. I live just a few miles away from the river in New Jersey where the shark swam, but my grandma lives a few BLOCKS away from the river, pretty cool right?

i like this because the author added suspicion being he saw the shark fin but didn't get bet that day
that looks like it would be good
I like this book because it has a lot of action. I like that the author put details about the olden days. This book taught me something. It was that people thought that sharks bite people but it is very rare. Except in the book.
A very scary part at beginning!
