On a sunny day in June, fifteen-year-old Jane Arrowood went for a swim. And then everything - absolutely everything - changed. Now she’s counting down the days until she returns to school with her fake arm, where she knows kids will whisper, "That’s her - that’s Shark Girl," as she passes.

The people of Carrick have been whispering behind Neen's back for most of her life; ever since her father drowned and her mother disappeared.

All Neen wants is the truth.

Will Grayson:

What if your oldest, wildest, only best friend started writing a musical about your life…and it made you look like a joke?
