Have you ever watched a fish tank as if it were a movie? Do you dream of exploring oceans and lakes? Picture yourself tracking fish all over the world — like Eugenie Clark. Genie fell in love with a fish as a girl, watching them at the aquarium in New York City's Battery Park. At the time, few women made careers in science. But Genie went on to search for exotic fish in the South Pacific, prove that sharks can learn, and even discover new kinds of underwater critters.

Follow along as Genie puzzles over the mysteries of the watery world. Along the way, you'll meet fish from all over the earth. And you'll find out how to do some fish watching of your own, even if the nearest ocean is miles away.
