Want to know what happened to protagonist Jane? Pick up the sequel, entitled
FORMERLY SHARK GIRL. "I wrote the sequel because so many readers wrote to me, asking questions about the characters in SHARK GIRL," Kelly told us. "This meant a lot to me. People wanted to know more, so I wrote more!"
If you have younger siblings or baby cousins, hit the picture book section for Kelly's book Z IS FOR MOOSE. That also has a sequel: CIRCLE, SQUARE, MOOSE will be available this September.
Kelly says, "I'm currently working on lots of new books and enjoying every minute of it!" We look forward to seeing/reading what you come up with, Kelly!
Here's a verse novel to watch for, rgz. You know I'm partial to the verse novel. Kudos to publishers who continue to give them voice! So, remember Shark Girl? You can read Kelly Bingham's full issue for rgz here. Get ready to see what happened afterwards: Formerly Shark Girl!
Kelly picks up Jane's story a year after the shark attack. She's waffling between nursing and art school. She's dealing with unexpected pain, a possible surgery, fan mail, and a bucket list for her senior year. The pages turn quickly as you journey with Jane through her choices, and she reaches satisfying conclusions.
Way to go rgz, for nudging Kelly to tell the rest of the story. Her dedication reads: "This book is for all the readers who asked for more of Jane's story. Without you, this book would not have been written." Brava, rgz!
