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.
