Book Description
2017 Amelia Bloomer List, Early Readers Nonfiction This picture book biography follows the life of Eugenie Clark, the Japanese-American scientist, researcher, and diver, who became famous as "The Shark Lady" for her groundbreaking discoveries about shark behavior. Before Eugenie Clark's groundbreaking research, most people thought sharks were vicious, blood-thirsty killers. From the first time she saw a shark in an aquarium, Japanese-American Eugenie was enthralled. Instead of frightening and ferocious eating machines, she saw sleek, graceful fish gliding through the water. After she became a scientist—an unexpected career path for a woman in the 1940s—she began taking research dives and training sharks, earning her the nickname "The Shark Lady."

Book Description
Sharks are attacking divers in the Florida Keys. Mike Scott barely survives the first incident, but it doesn't make sense. These sharks are especially aggressive, attacking in groups and not retreating. It's almost like someone is controlling them. The discovery that a narco sub full of cocaine sank nearby may be the reason, but that doesn't explain why all the activity is focused around the Christ of the Abyss statue in Key Largo. Is there something else going on? Is it the statue itself? Or is there a larger conspiracy? It's up to Mike to unravel the mystery before anyone else gets hurt. Or killed.
