Review: How to Outswim a Shark Without a Snorkel

Review: How to Outswim a Shark Without a Snorkel by Jess Keating

Ana Wright's summer just got terrifying. She's finally getting used to living in a zoo (no, seriously—she lives with her family in an actual zoo), when she's assigned to work in the new shark tank. With her worst enemy. Forget about sharks! Ashley is the ultimate predator. And after Ana's favorite croc peed on Ashley's shoes, she's probably out for revenge.

This can't be good.

Plot: I love the marine life part of this book! Marine Biology is something that really interests me. I loved getting to read about zoo animals in the first book (And look forward to reading more about them in the third book.), but it was a lot of fun to see Ana interact and learn about marine animals in this book! And everything that Ana goes through, from dealing with her fear of giving presentations at the zoo, to shopping for swimsuits, to dealing with not so nice people, it's just all very easy to relate to! :)


Characters: Ana was just as awesome and relatable in this book as the first! And I liked getting to know more about Ashley in this book! :)

The cover: Fun! :)

Overall: This 2nd book was even better than the 1st book! If you're looking for a fun, relatable, entertaining Middle Grade book, this series is one you need to try! (And hey, you get to learn fun animal facts while you read, which is awesome!) Looking forward to the next book! (Which I think has my favorite title so far!) :)

I received this book from the author.
