"The Shark Rider is one of the best yarns you'll ever read about the ocean, marine life, and a group of intrepid adventurous teens. They face exciting ocean challenges while working alongside a wide variety of sea creatures with amazing abilities. In fact, when I was given a pre-publication copy by Dr. Prager after a talk, a young teen tried to wrestle it from me saying, 'I need it. I can't wait for it to be published.' He was right. Don't miss it and the continuing exploits of Tristan Hunt and his friends." Jerry Schubel, Ph.D., President and CEO, Aquarium of the Pacific"Tristan Hunt is back in this exciting sequel to The Shark Whisperer (2014), where the clumsy kid learned that he was meant to be a hero to endangered sea creatures. ...

Carl Safina, ocean scientist and author of Nina Delmar, The Great Whale Rescue and Beyond Words , and What Animals Think and Feel"[Tristan] and the multispecies supporting cast notably a 5-inch mantis shrimp with an 'anger management issue' and built-in clubs powerful enough to sink a submarine are memorably diverse and colorful. ... a seaworthy sequel to Shark Whisperer (2014)." Kirkus Reviews"Earn your sea legs and go on an exciting eco-adventure with The Shark Rider. It's fun, funny, informative, and my favorite part is where the characters must outrun a hurricane.

Reseña del editor:

After thwarting the dastardly plans of J.P. Rickerton, Tristan Hunt is having trouble keeping his newfound talents a secret. And if undercover spies and a mysterious illness threatening to expose the secrets of camp weren't enough, reports of dying fish and disappearing sponge in the Caribbean call Tristan and his friends back into action. Will the Sea Guardians discover the source of the problem before time runs out? Can they escape the threat of an oncoming storm? Or will a betrayal from one of their own ensure it's already too late?
