Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

I knew nothing about How to Outrun a Crocodile, but I absolutely loved How to Outswim a Shark. Ana has a great voice, her family relationships are authentic, as is her journey of figuring out friendship. She has an equally authentic cast around her (except for her grandfather's supermodel girlfriend). The word "wholesome" kept coming to mind as I read it.

Pros: Humor and great characters come together in this exceptional, laugh-out-loud story for preteens and teens. This is an excellent selection for reading aloud with mixed-age audiences.

MY LIFE IS A ZOO series is a charming new series by Jess Keating. From the fear of public speaking to concerns about forming friendships, the authentic storylines bring humor to the real-world issues of growing up.

The second book in the series titled HOW TO OUTSWIM A SHARK WITHOUT A SNORKEL (available January 6, 2015) explores issues of friendship during a summer working at the family’s zoo.

Each chapter begins with animal wisdom and notes that draw readers into the story. Ana’s love of list-making adds to the fun. Witty words of pre-teen wisdom like “if something doesn’t fit, that’s the clothes’ fault. Not yours.” will have young readers anticipating the next book in this fun series.
