  • Sharklock Bones: Whale Tails

    John Leone

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, March 15, 2014)
    "Sharklock Bones: Whale Tails" is the seventh book in the series "Sharklock Bones". It features a talking shark detective and his trusty sidekick, a clownfish named Dr. Flotsam. Their residence is, of course, Fishtown, a town full of talking fish and animals. In this latest adventurer or "Tail", Sharklock is approached by a lone survivor of an attack by a white humpback whale. However, humpbacks are not white nor do they eat humans. The only clue is an insignia on the whale's flukes, its tail. Meet some of the characters along the way: Captain Meenoe, King Neptune, his daughter Antenna, Orville the Squid Pro Quo, Mussels Marinara and a lot more. Like all the other "tails", this one is written in screenplay fashion to encourage interaction by the readers. This series is actually for readers from eight to eighty. The younger ones like the pictures, the tweens like the role playing, the teens like the story, the adults like the references to pop icons of their era, not to mention the non-stop puns. Swim on in, join us in Fishtown!
