When Eugenie was a little girl, she lived with her mother and grandmother.  Sometimes, Eugenie had to go to work with her mother on Saturdays.  Eugenie didn't like that at all.  She would rather be playing with her friends than working at the newsstand with her mother.  One day, her mother had a great idea.  She dropped Eugenie off at the aquarium while she went to work.  Eugenie spent the morning looking at all the fish.  She was fascinated!  She even loved looking at the sharks.  She vowed that someday she would swim with sharks.  Eugenie started spending every Saturday at the aquarium and learning all she could about the fish.  As she grew, so did her curiosity about marine animals.  She went to college and studied.  She spent time working with scientists.  Did Eugenie ever swim with the sharks?  Find out about this fascinating lady in Shark Lady.
