Teen Review: Formerly Shark Girl

Formerly Shark Girl is an amazing and inspiring book. The clever use of poetic form leaves the readers captivated, even if it feels a bit awkward at first. Overlook this however, and you will subtly find a rhythm in the book. Jane's story is one of strength, which is conveyed very well by the author's words. At points in the story I felt that the characters were, in a physical sense, described to vaguely, which was troubling. Despite this, the character's personalities shone throughout the story, which, as a vital part of the story, tied everything together and brought it to life.

Formerly Shark Girl and the prequel, Shark Girl are available at the Booth & Dimock Memorial Library.
