Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong WashburnRead about the other books on the list.
This novel is for the shark lovers out there. It may also appeal to the many Jaws fans who became terrified of sharks because of the film and crave the catharsis of a book with a nicer shark. In 1995, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls off a cruise ship in the Pacific Ocean and ends up getting rescued and delivered back to his mom by a massive shark. As time passes and Nainoa develops strange abilities, his family begins to view this miracle as the work of ancient Hawaiian gods. Yet these beliefs may cause fractures in the family, too.
