Reading Michael Northrop's SURROUNDED BY SHARKS was like sitting in the first row on the fastest rollercoaster at the carnival.
It was thrilling, action-packed and even terrifying at times.The story surrounds (pun intended) the Tsering family, which consists of the parents, Tam and Pamela; and their two sons, Davey and Brando; who decide to go on an island vacation to spend quality time together. However, this doesn't sit too well with Davey, who is an awkward, slightly nerdy teenage boy who prefers to spend his time alone and curled up with a good book as opposed to with his family. On their first morning on the island, Davey goes rogue and sneaks away from his family while they're asleep. When they awaken, they can't find him anywhere. Where could he have possibly gone? It is an island...
As a whole, I really enjoyed this book. It is a great, quick read that is thoroughly engaging. I loved the way the narrative switched between the characters, providing an element of dramatic irony that made the story all the more compelling. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. It really is fantastic.
Teaser
Davey can't wait to slip out of the crammed hotel room he's sharing with his family. As the sparkling ocean entices him, he decides to test the water, never mind that "No Swimming" sign. But as the waves pull him farther from shore, Davey finds himself surrounded by water --- and something else, too. Something circling below the surface, watching, waiting. It's just a matter of time.
