Shark Girl by Kelly BinghamMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The only complaint I have about this book is that I thought it was an autobiography until very late, possibly the afterward. It is a quick read told in a series of poems, letters, and journal entries.
Jane, the main character, draws you into the story immediately. She is only fifteen when a shark takes her arm and almost her life. The book then describes her reaction as she must cope with her loss.
This is Kelly Bingham's first and, as far as I can tell, only novel. She is an excellent writer. I hope to see more from her.
This book would be great for anyone (probably over the age of twelve) who has experienced loss or just wants to try to understand loss.
