Based on true events! It's the summer of 1916 and the Jersey shore is being terrorized by a Great White shark. Can 10-year-old Chet and his friends survive a swim in the local creek?

Chet Roscow is finally feeling at home in Elm Hills, New Jersey. He has a job with his uncle Jerry at the local diner, three great friends, and the perfect summertime destination: cool, refreshing Matawan Creek.

But Chet's summer is interrupted by shocking news. A great white shark has been attacking swimmers along the Jersey shore, not far from Elm Hills. Everyone in town is talking about it. So when Chet sees something in the creek, he's sure it's his imagination. . . until he comes face-to-face with a bloodthirsty shark!

    There are I survived books with girls in them, like the bear attacks of, 1967? I think? And also the are others. Lauren Tarshis actually said that the reason that a lot of the books have boys is because she’s a mother of boys. She has done quite a few with girls which are just as good as the boys. Hope this helped! MagnoliaHeart of the DewClan
