The MEG
Written by NY Times best-selling author Steve Alten
Recommended grades: 7-12
Synopsis:
Imagine a Great White shark 70 feet long, weighing almost 40 tons, its teeth seven inch daggers, with jaws that are large enough to swallow an elephant whole! MEG is the NY Times and international best-seller which spawned six sequels and a #1 movie starring Jason Staham. More important, it will hook even your most reluctant readers to read.
NOTE TO TEACHERS:
Over the last 22 years, MEG has been rewritten several times and published using different covers. Curriculum materials are provided for the out-of-print mass market paperback (Surfer cover); however as of August 2018 only the trade paperback published by A&M Publishing (movie poster cover) are being sold in stores. This newest and best version of MEG features the movie poster cover, along with 17 interior images, a prequel (MEG: Origins) and no curse words.
