This is the story of Sydney, a Great White Shark who is born with an abnormality. One tooth grows outside his mouth instead of inside. He is very unhappy because he is teased at school. One day, a new shark comes to the class. Her name is Molly and she is a Mako shark. She and Sydney become good friends. One day, they were swimming together and got stuck in reeds. It was becoming dark and they were very scared. Suddenly Sydney had an idea. He used his disability to rescue them and becomes a hero. It is a wonderful book and deals with the issues of disability as well as bullying. A very prominent theme running through the book is IT'S NOT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE THAT COUNTS BUT WHAT YOU DO! I believe this theme will resonate with parents and teachers alike.
