Can a shark and a robot really be friends? In this hilarious graphic-novel chapter book, what makes you different makes for an EPIC friendship.

Shark loves water. Bot short-circuits if he goes near water! Shark recites poetry. Bot recites facts. Can these two really be friends? They're both a little awkward. . . . They both love comics. . . . And just wait til you see their dance moves when they confront a playground bully.

Readers won't just laugh along, they'll identify with the real-life issues of making friends, accepting differences, and dealing with bullies in the best way possible. Perfect for reluctant readers and fans of Narwhal and Jelly and The Bad Guys.
