Neighborhood Sharks: Hunting with the Great Whites of California's Farallon Islands | Katherine Roy

“The ocean is a system, and understanding it and keeping it healthy is vital for both sharks and us.”

Neighborhood Sharks: Hunting with the Great Whites of California's Farallon Islands | Katherine Roy

This book could be used in the classroom to engage students in nonfiction texts, as many young readers are interested in sharks. This could be used in a science unit on ecosystems and animal adaptations.

Neighborhood Sharks: Hunting with the Great Whites of California's Farallon Islands | Katherine Roy

so-so

Published in 2014, a nonfiction book. Katherine Roy uses vivid language and watercolor illustrations to explain the lives of great white sharks. She introduces topics like hunting and anatomy. This book is well-suited for upper elementary readers, especially those interested in ocean life.

This Is Our Story | Ashley Elston

so-so

I really enjoyed Ashley Elston's adult thriller Frist Lie Wins, so I decided to pick up one of her other books. However, this one didn't work for me. I found it really predictable and kind of boring.

However, I think young readers would really enjoy it.

4✨ If you know anything about this book you know it‘s a hard read. I remember as a kid watching this movie as a “Friday Fiction Movie” my teacher (Dad) always put on classic literature movies every Friday. This one was so memorable that I wasn‘t able to read it until now. The hurt that we feel for this young man who worked hard for his dogs, cherished his dogs, and was saved more ways than one is timeless.

ShelleyBooksie What a book ♡♡♡ I will forever be thankful for my grade 6 teacher for reading this book to the class. 2mo

LitStephanie The Dark is Rising! That takes me back. Are you re-reading childhood favorites or discovering classic gems for the first time? 3mo

Roary47 @willaful Honestly, just lucky I think. These are my random reads selected in #Roll100 that are on my shelves I haven‘t read yet. @LitStephanie I haven‘t, but you made me really excited. I was a struggling reader growing up so wasn‘t able to read a lot of the stories my peers were reading. 🥰💛 3mo

Roary47 I still haven‘t read it, but watched it in my fourth grade class for our book-movie Fridays. My teacher (my Dad) was really awesome in ensuring a type of literacy even if many of my class wasn‘t readers. I‘m too scared for all that raw emotion. 😭 (edited) 6mo

CBee @dabbe I will never read this again. My heart can‘t take it 😢😢 6mo
