"This sweet early reader comic can be read simply as an enjoyable story, or it can be a catalyst for discussion with younger readers about their sense of self."
—School Library Journal
Surf's up! Another fin-tastic graphic novel adventure awaits with your favorite shark princesses, Kitana and Mack!

Shark princesses Kitana and Mack are back, just in time to attend the ocean's first Surfin' Sharks competition! Surfing is Mack's favorite sport, and he's been working really hard on his routine. But after a high-flying performance, he becomes discouraged once he sees a more talented shark and decides to quit for good.
But after some helpful encouragement from Kitana and a young shark who admires his skills, Mack learns that surfing isn't all about winning or losing—it's about having fun!

      Finny friends leap into a third round of adventures and attitude adjustments. Mako shark Mack is proud of his surfing prowess--until slender, graceful sawshark Telo beats him out at the first Surfin' Shark Competition, and he grumpily announces that if he can't be the best, he's done. Whale shark Kitana, his canny fellow "princess," thereupon leads him to a "shark spa," or undersea geothermal vent where the dark water's too hot for all but other sharks. By the time Mack has used his "sharkle"--the shark sparkles that emanate from his crown--to help reunite a lost baby shark with its mama, he's mellowed out enough to realize that surfing is too much fun to worry about being best or not (which the other sharks have been telling him all along). So, in a "fintastic" finish, he joins the whole cartilaginous cohort of contestants and spectators in acrobatically riding a collective "party wave," before going back to chillax in the smoky "spa." As in the previous installments, lessons on being true to oneself and supporting one's friends are deftly layered into the humorous, lighthearted narrative. Chanani's two leads sport crowns but, like all the species of sea life in the cartoon panels here, are otherwise drawn with reasonable fidelity to nature. Another "jawsome" combination of small adventures and clear, worthy messaging. ("hide and sea" game, facts about sharks and geothermal vents, drawing lesson) (Graphic fiction. 7-9)
