Shark Summer
“Shark Summer is bursting with vibrant, expressive art....The characters are distinct and relatable...It’s a lovely read!” —Molly Knox Ostertag, author of the Witch Boy series
"Eloquently chronicled in Marcks’s cinematic panels, friendships are formed and repaired, parental relationships articulated, and inner conflicts expressed and resolved. A winning production." —Kirkus
