This book is quite interesting because it is a mixture between a fictional story line yet non-fiction facts and diagrams are included. Also I'm curious about the character because he is a school teacher who is cowardly, shy, and very fearful yet he was chosen to go on a trip in Australia to swim with sharks! I find this ironic(situational irony) and I definitely what to see how things will work out.

As a draw near to the end of this book I have discovered a lot more facts about sharks I didn't know before. I like how I learned these facts through simple diagrams, instructions, etc. that are all part of the Seb's journey at sea. The mix of fiction and non-fiction is not a book I have read a lot of before, and I think the mix of genres was quite effective. Also, Seb ends up over coming his fears at last.

Over the course of the chapters the main character ,Seb the teacher is slowly learning to overcome his fears of sharks and is slowly become more courageous and less like his wimpy old self. I like the fact that I could really see the changes of Seb as he becomes braver. Now I wonder if he might truly overcome his fear by entering the water with a great white.
