The true story of a great white shark pup who washed up on the beach and was rescued by the local community.

When a great white shark pup washed up on Manly Beach, the local community rushed to the shark's rescue, eventually releasing it back into the ocean.

Great white sharks are vital for the ocean ecosystem, and yet despite this, their beauty and mystery are rarely celebrated. This glorious picture book is a lyrical and emotive account of the shark pup's journey back to the ocean, interspersed by fascinating facts about great white sharks. The two narratives work together to inspire compassion and hope for one of the ocean's most feared and misunderstood threatened species.

Perfect for:

- Shark-obsessed young readers and all animal lovers

- Kids and parents who love true stories and nonfiction

- An introduction to conservation and marine science
