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"--.
As her thirteenth birthday nears, Ana is very happily making a behind-the-scenes documentary at the zoo her parents run and delighted that her best friend, Liv, is visiting from New Zealand, but things start to fall apart when she brings her old and new friends together.
After becoming the zoo's most popular student ambassador, Ana Wright, twelve, is starting to love her life when Ashley, her archenemy from school, volunteers at the new aquarium, and Ana finds her life turned upside-down again.
When twelve-year-old Ana's zoologist parents move the whole family into the zoo, the Sneerers--the clan of carnivorous female predators in her class--have even more ammunition to make her life miserable, although she tries to act like a chameleon and fade into the background.
