Ana Wright's life is a zoo-literally

AnaWright's life is a zoo-literally Ana Wright's summer just got terrifying. She's finally getting used to living in a zoo (no, seriously-she lives with her family in an actual zoo), when she's assigned to work in the new shark tank. With her worst enemy. Forget about sharks! Ashley is the ultimate predator. And after Ana's favorite croc peed on Ashley's shoes, she's probably out for revenge. This can't be good. Jess Keating combines the quirky humor and animal-centric plots of Carl Hiaasen with the awkward adolescent antics of Lauren Myracle in this fresh new middle grade series!

Reviews for How to Outswim a Shark Without a Snorkel

By turns funny and poignant, this follow-up to How to Outrun a Crocodile When Your Shoelaces Are Untied (Sourcebooks, 2014) sees Ana Wright, whose family recently moved to New Zealand to live in a zoo, saddled with the unenviable task of working in the shark tank-with her nemesis, Ashley. Readers will easily relate to insecure Ana and will enjoy the fun animal factoids (and Ana's own funny responses to the trivia). A relatable, if not groundbreaking, caper. - School Library Journal A zoologist, an educator, and an author, Jess Keating wrote the perfect book for students: a middle grade guide for navigating a zoo- I mean, middle school...My Life is a Zoo series speaks to tweens, - About.com Keating perfectly captures the fears, awkwardness, and excitement of being 12 and delivers a positive story with plenty of humor that emphasizes thinking for and becoming comfortable with oneself. - Booklist Daydream about summer this winter with Jess Keating's latest read...Ana Wright is back and better than ever in the second book to the My Life Is A Zoo series. - Girls Life.com Keating maintains the same humorous, lightly soul-searching tone, perfect for a barely teenage girl, with which she infused Ana's first outing, How to Outrun a Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied (2014)... An enjoyable frolic with a great message that kids won't even notice they're absorbing - Kirkus
