Book: Shark Girl
A YA Poetry Novel
by Kelly Bingham
On a sunny day in June, 15 year-old Jane Arrowood went for a swim off the California coast. That’s when everything changed. Now she’s counting down the summer, dreading the day when she returns to school with her fake arm. She knows what she’ll hear: “That’s her. That’s Shark Girl.”
Why did this happen? How will she move on? What about her art? What about her future? Jane must put the pieces of her life back together while traveling in the spotlight.
Through poems, conversation, and newspaper clippings, SHARK GIRL looks at what it’s like to lose part of yourself, and the courage to find yourself again.
