I think students would enjoy reading this book. There was enough mystery to keep the reader interested and wanting to know more. The characters would be easy for students to relate to and understand. I couldn't wait to get to the end to find out how the mystery was resolved.

Excellent middle grade read. A spin-off children's series from the adult Doc Ford series. Plenty of adventure. Deals with friendship,and responsibility. Also highlights environmental issues which is standard in author Randy Wayne White's adult Doc Ford novels.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an e-ARC of this one.

Fans of Carl Hiaasen's middle grade novels will find this series up their alley. The Sharks Incorporated crew is back again, this time they're up against some shady stuff in the Bahamas. To be fair, books are this type are a challenge. It's hard to infuse the non-fiction facts and information into the story without getting in the way of the story. I felt like the author did a better job of that in the first book in the series. Here, it seemed like the facts were a forced into the story in some places. I think many kids will still enjoy the mystery and the info, but look forward a hopefully smoother style in book three!

This is the second book in this series for middle school age children. I had not read the first book but since I have read Mr. Whites adult thrillers with Doc Ford and Hannah Smith, it was easy to pick up this story.
Two sisters who were rescued from a raft floating from Cuba and their friend the farm boy nephew of Capt. Hannah, form Shark Inc. Doc Ford , a biologist, help these children learn how to tag small sharks for research and has taken them to the Bahamas to help him with a new project capturing Lionfish, a venomous predator from the Pacific that is threatening the marine life in the Caribbean and Florida. They are staying on a small island that has its share of pirate, treasure and ghost stories which fascinate the kids and lead them to all sorts of adventures. This is an excellent edge of your seat thriller for young people and I look forward to more adventures with Shark Inc.
