Shark Lady

Q: Why did you write SHARK LADY: TRUE STORY OF EUGENIE CLARK?

A: Dr. Eugenie Clark agreed to read my book on sharks to make sure everything was true. I met with her and asked her about her life. When I heard her gripping stories, I knew children would love her adventures — meeting a king in the South Seas when she was wearing only a bathing suit, how to test if sharks are intelligent, teaching the Crown Prince of Japan to scuba dive, the mystery of the sleeping sharks, learning if a small fish could keep away a dangerous shark – and much more.

Eugenie Clark and I often scuba dive together.
