Neighborhood Sharks

This non-fiction book tells of one of the ocean's largest and most famous predators and an occurrence that happens just a few miles from San Francisco each fall.  At this time, the great white sharks return to California's Farallon Islands to hunt their favorite meal; the seals that live on the island's rocky coasts.  


In the fall of 2012, Katherine Roy visited the Farallons with the scientists who study the islands' shark population.  She witnessed seal attacks, observed sharks being tagged in the wild, and got an up close look at the dramatic Farallons.  Neighborhood Sharks explains the life cycle, biology, and habitat of the great white shark, based on the latest research and an up-close visit with these amazing animals.
