I began this blog in the fall of 2010, thinking I would read 100 books during the 2010-2011 school year and write about each one. I reached 100 books in May, but decided to just keep on reading. You can stop back any time to hear about the newest books on my list.

#64 The Shark Attacks of 1916
This "I survived" series has already been a popular series in our library, I've noticed. I checked this one out because of the big shark looming on the cover - and the boys in the water near it. It looked like a great adventure!
The Shark Attacks of 1916 is based on true events in history. Even though the names were changed in this book, the events are told as they actually happened. What a strange occurrence: to have so many shark attacks to close together, and many of them in shallow ocean water and even in rivers!
At the end of the book is the first chapter of the next "I Survived" book, which is about Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I can't wait!
