Space Invaders

Davy Ocean · 2019
72/100
👍 Worth It

The role-reversal premise — sharks discovering the human world — is a genuinely clever hook that elevates this above the typical series finale, and the short chapters and physical comedy make it a solid choice for reluctant readers. It works best for kids who have followed the Shark School series, so jump-in readers may feel a little lost. Solid genre entertainment with a positive message about unexpected friendship.
