""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.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
