(4) YA Survivors: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Circumstances series. This book separates fact from fiction, from a 1916 beach attack to the loss of about two hundred people in a single 1945 disaster to pop culture icons such as Jaws. Illustrated with colorful photographs, the readable text addresses which sharks pose a danger to humans and how to avoid becoming shark bait. The text, though accessible, tends toward melodrama. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
