"Shark Girl" by Kelly Bingham tells the story of a teenage girl named Hannah who survives a shark attack but faces life-altering challenges as a result. As she navigates the physical and emotional aftermath of the incident, including the loss of her arm and the shift in her identity, Hannah struggles with feelings of isolation, fear, and the desire to reclaim her life. The novel is written in free verse, allowing readers to experience Hannah's thoughts and emotions deeply as she learns to cope with her trauma, find her voice, and embrace a new beginning.
