Sharks in the Time of Saviors — Kawai Strong Washburn. When seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls into the ocean into a shark swarm, his family fears the worst. But instead of being harmed, a shark gently guides him back to the safety of the ship. Stunned, his family is overjoyed, but shortly after, they notice something different about Nainoa.
Sharks in the Time of Saviors sounds great. I’ve been trying to find novels that deal with the sea from different perspectives. I’m familiar with a lot of the classic sea stories, but not many more contemporary novels. This sounds like a good one to add to the list.
As someone born and raised in Hawai'i, I think it’s so cool to see you reviewing a book written by Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians). I have yet to read this book, but I grew up identifying with this place I call home. Now that I appreciate the analogue forms of media (like a good paperback or hardcover book)...I will definitely read this book this year. :) Thank you for the visibility/representation!!
There are so many little free libraries in my neighborhood and they make me so happy and feel so connected to the community. I take my dog on walks to tour them -- I recently got Lincoln Highway and a Sally Rooney book from them. I was so excited!! Now I need to return the favor and leave a few of my own.
Sharks in the Time of Saviors looks wonderful, thanks for the rec!
