Kelly Bingham
Shark Girl
Hardcover
(Candlewick April 10, 2007)
, 0th Edition
One sunny day, at the beach with her mom and brother, fifteen-year-old Jane Arrowood goes for a swim. And then everything -- absolutely everything -- changes. Now she's counting down the days until she returns to school with her fake arm, where she knows kids will whisper, "That's her -- that's Shark Girl," as she passes. In the meantime there are only questions: Why did this happen? Why her? What about her art? What about her life?
Using poems, letters, telephone conversations, and newspaper clippings to look unflinchingly at what it's like to lose part of yourself, Kelly Bingham creates an absorbing artful story of a teenager struggling through physical loss to the start of acceptance.
