Fins is a very good start to what I think will be an exciting and informative series for kids. The book is by Randy Wayne White know for the acclaimed series featuring Doc Ford, that is set on the west coast of Florida.
There is a ton of potential and different ways this can go.
The marine biology, water safety, boat safety that is part and parcel of this story will bring so much knowledge to kids. Seamlessly woven into the story, reinforced throughout the book.
Characters are likable, balanced , 2 girls recently emigrated from Cuba and a boy from Ohio, who has some special abilities. The setting is the familiar Dinkins Bay Marina, with Doc Ford, Hannah and A cameo appearance from Tomlinson.
A long start as the characters and setting are introduced and then a breathtaking finish. My 10 year old granddaughter can read this easily.
Would be a great read aloud for teachers and parents since it provides topics for discussion on many levels and areas.
Can’t wait to read what is next for Sharks Inc. ( )
