PRAISE:
“Yanish’s second graphic novel for new-to–chapter-books readers is even more fun than the series opener. The unlikely duo of Shark and Bot (with Batty the wombat in tow) inhabits large, colorful panels full of fourth-wall–breaking humor and wombat facts. Age-appropriate, deadpan shark—er, snark at its best.” (Graphic fiction. 6-9)

A shark and a robot are unlikely friends. But in this hilarious young graphic novel series, what makes you different makes for an EPIC friendship.
It might not seem like Shark and Bot have much in common. Shark has some very sharp teeth and Bot has a saw for an arm. Who would have thought these two could become best friends? They can't even shake hands! But friendship is surprisingly easy when you are both a little awkward, love comics, and want to have some fun. But not everyone is so friendly. What will these new pals do when some meanies don't want to share the playground?
