On a sunny day in June, at the beach with her mom and brother, fifteen-year-old Jane Arrowood went for a swim. And then everything - absolutely everything - changed. 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? In this striking first novel, Kelly Bingham uses poems, letters, telephone conversations, and newspaper clippings to look unflinchingly at what it's like to lose part of yourself - and to summon the courage it takes to find yourself again. 601796 10 4 2007 Shark Girl total:333|5:96|4:122|3:94|2:13|1:8| 333 1284 508 115 615359 0763632074 9780763632076 333 115 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176343532m/615359.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/615359.Shark_Girl 3 1 false Fri Mar 27 09:06:04 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 09:12:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 615359 0763632074 9780763632076 333 115 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176343532m/615359.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/615359.Shark_Girl 3 1 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 12 20:43:31 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 12 21:45:05 -0800 2007 more...]]> 615359 0763632074 9780763632076 333 115 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176343532m/615359.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/615359.Shark_Girl 3 0 false Fri Jun 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 17:55:40 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 17:59:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 615359 0763632074 9780763632076 333 115 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176343532m/615359.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/615359.Shark_Girl 5 2 false Fri Apr 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 10 12:16:50 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 09:29:05 -0700 2008 more...]]> 615359 0763632074 9780763632076 333 115 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176343532m/615359.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/615359.Shark_Girl 4 2 false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 07 08:25:46 -0800 2007 Mon May 26 20:41:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 615359 0763632074 9780763632076 333 115 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176343532m/615359.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/615359.Shark_Girl 5 1 false Tue Apr 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 11:17:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 11:17:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 615359 0763632074 9780763632076 333 115 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176343532m/615359.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/615359.Shark_Girl 3 0 false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 11 09:40:58 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 09:51:43 -0700 2009 Shark Girl is extraordinarily well done, and a certain fascination with catastrophe will probably attract a lot of kids to this book, which is more accessible than Home of the Brave.
