The Shark King

40 pp. | Candlewick/TOON | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-935179-16-0 $12.95
(1) 1-3 Toon Book series. Part graphic novel, part myth, and part beginning reader, the story tells of the Shark King, who has a son with a mortal woman. Sharks and the format will lure in readers; the subtext of bullying and self-discovery will stay with them long afterward. The characters' rounded black outlines convey strong energy and emotion, while the art features a lush Hawaiian setting.
