Sharks Unhooked: The Adventures of Cristina Zenato, Underwater Ranger

By Patricia Newman

Book Overview

Some people are scared of sharks. Not Cristina Zenato.

As a little girl, Cristina dreamed of making friends with the sharks deep in the ocean. When she grew up, she made those dreams come true, becoming a diver, conservationist, and shark advocate. But Cristina discovered that sharks--the sleek, strong, powerful guardians of the ocean--need our help. She started diving in a protective suit and, as she built trust with sharks, they began coming to her with fishing hooks stuck in their bodies. Did she have the courage to remove the hooks?

Sharks Unhooked is the true story of how one woman is exploring the ocean, helping our ecosystem, and forming incredible bonds with animals beneath the rolling surf.
