This year's Spinescape® was specifically selected because sharks have been a high-interest topic to students K-12, and World Book has a desire to support shark conservation. "There are a lot of misconceptions about sharks out there," says Tom Evans, World Book's Editor in Chief. "Sharks have the reputation of attacking human beings. But fewer than 80 shark attacks a year are reported throughout the world," adds Tom.
