This is my first book from the Science Comics series, but it won't be the last. It is comprehensive, but presented in just the right way to keep young readers engaged.

This was an interesting book. It is a fact book about sharks in the style of a comic book- no photos all drawings. Personally as a teacher, I prefer the traditional fact-file style book as they are clear and useful when teaching children new genres. However, I can imagine certain children loving this style.

It's colourful with lots of types of sharks in drawings. The information is 'bite-sized' because it is in windows of the comics. It is a little tricky to know where to read first as there is a lot on each page but I can imagine this will be a hit with ten year olds during silent reading. It's one you can dip in and out of again. Horrible science fans will probably enjoy this addition to their bookshelf.

First Second Publishing's tagline is Great Graphic Novels for Every Reader, and their science series lives up to hype. Sharks: Nature's Perfect Hunter, set to be published April 2018, is worth the pre-order. The target audience is grades 4-8, but adults will learn something new about shark evolution and classification. Chalked full of scientific terms, the gorgeous illustrations will have every student turning the pages. Pair this with I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 by Lauren Tarshis. (NetGalley provided the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.)

As someone who has an irrational fear of sharks, this book was both illuminating and challenging. I learned so much more about sharks than I could have imagined, and found myself challenged to think about sharks with perhaps more information and less fear. The graphic/comic layout was appealing and skillfully done so that information was both pictorially and textually available. I can imagine using this resource with reluctant readers as the pictures would draw one in with their dramatic presentation and encourage the reader to find out more. As the parent of a "squeamish" child, the drawings are technically accurate and engaging while remaining comfortable for the reader with less graphic sensibilities. This book will be a great addition to a classroom science unit or for the budding scientist in any household.

This graphic novel goes into different types or sharks and their enviornments. It was facinating and the illistrations really help. This is a fantastic book for middle or high schoolers. It uses a lot of the academic language and has great information in it. This would be a great text to have in a science or language arts classroom. I received a copy of this from Net Galley in exchange for a review. But when this book is released I will be buying a couple for my classroom library.

The graphic novel, Sharks by Joe Flood is an informative and enjoyable book for middle grades and above. It includes well done pictures depicting the parts of a shark's life cycle and how they interact in the food web. There is a vast amount of information included in the book about the different kinds of sharks. Flood also takes time to explain the human interactions with sharks and how humans view them. For those curious, fascinated, or just LOVE sharks, this is the book for you.

Packed--really packed!--with information. Told with clarity and humor. Excellent for classroom use and just plain reading for enjoyment and learning.
