Series: Shark Wars by EJ Altbacker - Ages 9+

Shark Wars
Book 1
What's the Story?


Since the dawn of time, prehistoric shark clans called Shivers have ruled over the earth's oceans, fierce protectors of all who swim. For eons, the Big Blue has prospered under Shiver Law, and the delicate balance of sea life kept sacred. Until now.

Rising sea temperatures and overfishing have caused food to become scarce, and the battle for new hunting grounds has brought with it corruption and warfare.

Now, with the ocean on the brink of chaos, a young reef shark named Gray - exiled from the safety of his peaceful reef home - must venture deep into Open Water to unlock the secrets of his destiny and bring peace back to the ocean. But first, he'll have to discover the truth about who - and what - he really is.

What's the Buzz?
"...if you have middle grade kids who are fascinated by the shark craze, you might want to introduce them to the first in the series of Shark Wars novels." - The Morton Report
" Confident readers will find this book action-packed and reminiscent of the Warriors series (but instead of cats, it's sharks). Mild bloody violence and shark fighting occur." - Story Snoops
"This book was good because of all the epic battle scenes and the tales of budding friendship.  At times I didn’t like how the language was vague and details were left out, but this was a really fast read." - Ian @ Well Read Spartans
"I must admit this is a great fast paced, action packed series, perfect for reluctant young readers." - Geek Dad @ Wired.com

"When I first picked this book up I really wasn’t sure I’d like it. The plot didn’t seem like something I’d be interested in. Well -I LOVED THIS BOOK! It is well written, the description of the story made it come alive and the whole story was really good...I give Shark Wars five out of five book worms! " - This Kid Reviews Books
