Narrator Jordan Killam chronicles the life and work of scientist Eugenie Clark, who dedicated her life to the research and advocacy of sharks. With crisp diction and even pacing, Killam makes the story accessible to young listeners. Underwater sound effects make listeners feel as though they're diving through the water with Clark as she makes new discoveries in her field. The musical score adds drama to Killam's narration, while the "shark bites," or factual tidbits and timeline, give the work context and additional details. Young listeners will be inspired by Clark's determination to achieve her dream no matter what obstacles she encountered. M.D. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine -

Keating (Pink Is for Blobfish) offers a lively portrait of
scientist Eugenie Clark, who pursued a passion for sharks. Playfully mixing the aquatic and terrestrial, Miguens (One Small Donkey) shows sharks circling the stacks of the library where a young Clark reads: “Whale sharks. Nurse sharks. Tiger sharks. Lemon sharks. Eugenie wanted to know about them all.” Despite facing discrimination as a woman, Clark earned a zoology degree then literally dove into field research, changing the way sharks were perceived. Through Clark’s story, Keating suggests that, with perseverance, a childhood fascination can evolve into a life’s work. Ages 4–8. Author’s agent: Kathleen Rushall, Andrea Brown Literary. Illustrator’s agency: Astound.
