  <default_description>With her deadbeat boyfriend back in town, it  doesn't take Brody long to realize that a shark bite might just have been the best part of her summer. &lt;P&gt; Brody is an unstoppable surfer girl who conquers the waves . . . until she meets her match: A giant shark that bites off her leg and changes her life forever.  To make things worse, hallucinations and nightmares plague her, and just when Brody thought it was safe to go back in the water, her deadbeat shark of an ex-boyfriend, Jake, returns. Determined to make her life awesome again, Brody takes off on a furious road trip of vengeance, dragging her friend Louise and Jake along for the ride.</default_description>

Minx books are supposed to be &quot;cool&quot; comic books with teen girl appeal.

Also, I feel l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47780353">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[You could say that this book was about a really rude chick dealing with the issues that go along with losing a limb, but then you'd be neglecting a lot of the coolness of the book! Haha! Brody is disgusting, and I think that's fantastic. I adore her snide and crude persona. I adore her long sufferin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41127414">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A Graphic Novel that I could actually read!  This story is about a girl that has one leg eaten off by a shark.  It hardly talks about that, but about her life living with her friend.  Her ex-boyfriend comes to live with them and things aren’t the best.  So, she decides to drive him back to his hom...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40387188">more...</a>]]></body>
