I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916

I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 is by Lauren Tarshis. A great introduction to historical fiction for younger readers. This is the story of the a young boy who survived the great white shark attacks off the Eastern seaboard in 1916. These attacks were the basis for "Jaws." Some of attacks occurred in a river, not in the ocean; this is the story of one of those attacks.

Ratings: 5th grade - 6 out of 10.
