Book Description
"Well, it's mystery meat again. I'm pretty sure the lunch ladies are
stealing small animals from the neighborhood and using them to feed
us."
Nick laughed and said, "I think you're right. I haven't seen the poodle
that lives next door to us in over a week."
Sammy took a bite and added, "Well, if it is your neighbor's poodle,
she tastes just like chicken."
Sammy is moving to a different town, starting sixth grade at a new
school, and constantly arguing with his annoying older sister, Stacy.
Could life for Sammy be any more stressful? Sure, if you add in the
fact that he also has Spina Bifida.
Sammy isn't your typical kid, but after making a few good friends and
joining the Springdale Sharks sled hockey team, everyone gets a chance
to see how amazing he can be.
A Shark Out of Water highlights the love/hate relationship between
siblings and touches on a subject that isn't always easy to
discuss-what can happen when you're a little bit different?
