"Marcks...has accomplished an unusual feat with this cinematic homage: He has produced a meta-graphic novel that manages to deconstruct a genre, pay tribute to it and keep the reader happily inside it all at the same time. More popcorn please!"—The New York Times
"A winning production."—Kirkus Reviews
"A strong addition to graphic novel shelves."—School Library Journal
"It’s a plot-driven mystery with myriad intertwining threads that features whip-smart, proactive protagonists."—Publishers Weekly
"A kid-friendly and eerie take on Stephen King’s The Shining, this graphic novel has eye-catching cinematic illustrations that evoke the composition of classic horror films."—BCCB
"Shark Summer is bursting with vibrant, expressive art that transports the reader to a summer on Martha's Vineyard, with a mystery that weaves through local gossip and school drama. The characters are distinct and relatable—kids with unique interests and big dreams, trying to figure out how to be good friends to each other. It's a lovely read!"
