I picked up Shark Wars, the first book of a great series for my six year old who loves sharks. We read the book together and then purchased the other five books in the series. This book of course introduces the main characters in the series. We get to know Gray,our hero, and the history of the Big Blue and the shark kind who live there. Grey is faced with some big challenges, like being kicked out of his home territory and out into the world. There is a battle and many plot twists. Shark Wars leaves you waiting for the next book Battle of Riptide.
