Don't pass up the opprutunity to read this book

Do you like books where funny things happen? If you do, you should read this book. The book is called Shark Shock. It is a novel that tells about the journey of a boy named Adam to be able to hear his freckles. The reason is his freckles help him look for sharks when he swims in deep water out in the open. One of the funny parts in the book is when Adam can talk to his freckles. Now I found this pretty funny. Anyway, one day Adam can't hear his freckles anymore. He starts many methods to be able to hear his freckles. He even pours hair conditioner into his ears... I like this book because it was funny in some parts. I recommend this book for kids of all ages.

Very touching

Eleven-year-old Adam is a likeable boy who just wants a true friend in life, that will always stand by his side. Whether it be his new friend, Seth, or his ever-present freckles, he gets along in life. The book is humorous, yet allows us to feel for Adam in a way that he wants so bad. It is great to see him finally overcome his fear of the water in the end. Great job, Donna! I feel this is your best book next to "When the water closes over my head."
