Publisher's Weekly STARRED REVIEW:

"Written in a series of poems, letters and journal entries, Bingham's first novel strikes a delicate balance between shock story and emotive rant, and delivers a provocative portrait of one girl's journey following a near-fatal accident.....Powerful without being maudlin or preachy, the book explores hurdles that are bound to follow a physical disfigurement, and readers will come to empathize with Jane for her strength and brutal honesty."


BOOKLIST:

"Jane Arrowood wonders if she will forever be known as the "Shark Girl" who survived the shark attack on a golden California June day  A popular 15 year old with true artistic talent and a strong circle of friends, Jane suddenly feels extraordinarily different with a prosthesis where her arm should be.....In carefully constructed, sparsely crafted free verse, Bingham's debut novel offers a strong view of a teenager learning to survive and live again.  Her metaphors are authentic, visual, and lovely.....it's a familiar storyline written in a fresh voice, one that will be justifiably popular."
