Goodreads Synopsis: 

At 9 years old, Eugenie Clark developed an unexpected passion for sharks after a visit to the Battery Park Aquarium in New York City. At the time, sharks were seen as mindless killing machines, but Eugenie knew better and set out to prove it. Despite many obstacles in her path, Eugenie was able to study the creatures she loved so much. From her many discoveries to the shark-related myths she dispelled, Eugenie's wide scientific contributions led to the well-earned nickname "Shark Lady"

Review: 
Shark Lady is a gorgeous non-fiction book about Eugenie Clark. She studied zoology and then sharks specifically. The book is a wonderful teaching tool for youths interested in animals and science. When I first started reading this book, i didn't realize it was non-fiction. It just seemed like a wonderful tale about a girl that loved sharks and was trying to make a better world for them. At the end of the book there is a timeline of Eugenie's life and more information about sharks as well. The while thing comes together very well and I think if you and your child love animals or are interested in sharks specially this will be a wonderful read to have in your household.

And I have an extra copy so one of you will get it:
