White Shark Cafe was conceived after reading about sharks swimming between California and Hawaii. Scientists found that during certain months of the year, the sharks would gather in groups to dive and play. Dr. Randall Kochevar and a team of scientists of the TOPP (Tagging of Pacific Predators) program found this as unusual behavior for Great White Sharks. Read what they discovered about these magnificent creatures. Author Mary Page stated her book began as an assignment with the Institute of Children's Literature. Her teacher suggested interviewing a scientist to add to the story idea. The author found and interviewed Dr. Kochevar, who did TOPP's public relations and outreach for community activities. She says, "From that, I crafted their findings into a narrative format. The TOPP project has transformed now into the Global Tagging of Pelagic Predators, at http: //www.gtopp.org." Author and long-time educator, Mary Page of Baytown, Texas, wrote a previous young adult novel set in India titled The Grand New Delhi Escapade. She has been researching and writing the sequel. Her children's book based on math language concepts, Ways to Say Zero, has been accepted for publication at Guardian Angel Publishing. EXXON/MOBILE published her academic research paper on "Baytown Refinery Folklore" in its book, From Humble Beginnings: EXXON 75th Anniversary Publication. The author continues to extend her writing activities by doing articles and blogs on the Internet for others, presently with her company Page's Prolific Prose or with Inkedlinks.
