Bookroo's summary

Harry Hammer idolizes the great white shark Gregor the Gnasher, but his false alarms about shark sightings have left him in hot water. When a real great white appears, hungry and menacing, Harry's credibility is on the line. Can he convince his friends of the danger before it's too late, or will his past mistakes cost him dearly? Dive into this thrilling underwater adventure where trust and survival hang in the balance.

From the publisher

When Harry Hammer accidentally sounds the great white shark alarm a few times too many, he ends up in dangerous waters in this fourth Shark School (mis)adventure. Harry Hammer’s all-time hero is the great white shark Gregor the Gnasher. Gregor is a famous action movie-star and the Underwater Wrestling Champion of the World. But not all great whites are like Gregor–most are fierce creatures of the deep. So when Harry sees one near Shark Point, he sounds the alarm and everyone panics! Turns out it’s just an old basking shark, and now everyone is furious. After a couple more minnow-sized mistakes, Harry sees a REAL great white…and it’s very hungry. Will anyone believe him this time?
