The Shark Attacks of 1916 (I Survived #2) by Lauren Tarshis Review ~ JeanBookNerd

Based on true events! It's the summer of 1916 and the Jersey shore is being terrorized by a Great White shark. Can 10-year-old Chet and his friends survive a swim in the local creek?

In the summer of 1916, ten year-old Chet Roscow is captivated by the local news: a Great White shark has been attacking and killing people up and down the Atlantic Coast, not far from Chet's hometown of Springfield, New Jersey.

Then one day, swimming with his friends, Chet sees something in the water. . .

I really loved the book a lot! All the main characters were amazing. The setting was really nice like in the creek and woods. The main characters were Chet, Monty, Sid and Dewey. They were amazing main characters, even Chet. This book was an amazing shark book I ever read.
