Surf's up! Another fin-tastic graphic novel adventure awaits with your favorite shark princesses, Kitana and Mack!

Shark princesses Kitana and Mack are back, just in time to attend the ocean's first Surfin' Sharks competition! Surfing is Mack's favorite sport, and he's been working really hard on his routine. But after a high-flying performance, he becomes discouraged once he sees a more talented shark and decides to quit for good.

But after some helpful encouragement from Kitana and a young shark who admires his skills, Mack learns that surfing isn't all about winning or losing—it's about having fun!

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Surfin' Sharks:

"Lessons on being true to oneself and supporting one’s friends are deftly layered into the humorous, lighthearted narrative . . . Another 'jawsome' combination of small adventures and clear, worthy messages." —Kirkus Reviews

Praise for the Shark Princessseries:

An Amazon Best Book of the Month!

"A finny, funny foray that encourages inclusivity even when it comes to play."
—Kirkus Reviews

"The story is overt in its message of self-love, and the digitally rendered artwork is clean and simple with calming washes of ocean blue and scattered bursts of fun color. A wholesome addition to the growing collection of early graphic novels for beginning readers."
—Booklist

“Who gets to be a princess? That’s the crux of this firmly inclusive, emotionally generous graphic novel by Chanani. Readers are immersed in an undersea cartoon world where Kitana, a whale shark sporting a seashell-and-starfish crown, is the self-declared 'first shark princess.' Mack worries that [his] dangerous teeth and severe allergies are instant disqualifiers [to be a princess], but it’s his realization that expression and identity aren’t about rules or permission that make this series starter sparkle.” 
—Publishers Weekly

"This sweet early reader comic can be read simply as an enjoyable story, or it can be a catalyst for discussion with younger readers about their sense of self. This engaging story with bright and dynamic artwork can be enjoyed by beginning readers, who will devour the fun story and laugh at the jokes.
—School Library Journal

"This first installment in Chanani’s comics series introduces sharks Kitana and Mack, best friends enjoying an undersea day together. [Chanani] has a lot of fun with language, tossing in puns (“she shore would”) and coining fishy lingo (“somefish”) for the early-chapter-book crowd. The story is gentle, but the theme—each of us gets to decide what to label ourselves—is deep."
—Horn Book

"Keeping things buoyant, Chanani tucks jokes about peeing in the ocean into this sequel to Shark Princess along withmeaningful exchanges about different preferences when it comes to being alone or with others. Glides along on a warm current of affirmation that princesses, despite their differences, are united in a love of adventure."
—Kirkus Reviews
