This book is about a young girl who loves two things: surfing and God. Bethany Hamilton writes this book about her love of surfing and how nothing, not even a shark attack that severs her left arm, can stop her from doing what she loves. One day she went out to surf with her good friend Alana. It was like any other day on the water, except on this day, a shark interrupted their good time by biting off Bethany’s arm. Her descriptions of how she felt after the attack really made me feel what she was feeling. It was hard for her to see her friends doing things that she couldn’t do or didn’t feel comfortable doing because of her arm. Bethany struggled learning how to do simple tasks with only one arm and got frustrated sometimes, but her faith in God helped her to recover and get back out on the water.
She wants people to know that good things can come out of even the worst situations. Because of what happened to Bethany, she has been able to reach out to people all over the world and tell them about Jesus, encouraging them in their faith.
I give this book a five star rating because of Bethany’s colorful descriptions of the shark attack and how her faith in God helped her to recover and triumph. I also like that Bethany is not afraid to share her faith with other people.
