I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916

Based on true events, this historical fiction novel is set in the summer of 1916. Ten-year-old Chet Roscow is finally settling into life in Elm Hills, New Jersey, where he lives with his Uncle Jerry and works at the local diner. He and his friends enjoy swimming in the cool, refreshing Matawan Creek, their perfect summertime destination. However, their summer fun is interrupted by shocking news: a Great White shark has been attacking and killing swimmers along the Jersey Shore, not far from Elm Hills. When Chet sees a black triangle in the Matawan Creek, he initially dismisses it as his imagination or a prank, until he comes face-to-face with a bloodthirsty shark. Now, Chet must race against time to save himself and his friends from the terrifying predator that has entered their seemingly safe inland waters.
