Out Now: Sharks Unhooked by Patricia Newman
Plus cover reveals, new book deals, and events across the country
Congratulations to Patrica Newman and Becca Hall on SHARKS UNHOOKED from Millbrook Press. Kirkus Reviews says: “Through Newman's sparkling, alliterative verse, a portrait of Cristina emerges--a dreamy wonderer who felt out of place growing up yet found a sense of belonging beneath the waves. Hall's delightful cartoon illustrations avoid anthropomorphism as they depict a more vulnerable side of sharks. Above all, readers will emerge with a strong grasp of sharks' crucial role in ecosystems. A conservation tale that's sure to hook readers."--Kirkus Reviews Buy in our Bookshop.
