Also a major motion picture starring AnnaSophia Robb! In this moving personal account of faith and fortitude, internationally ranked surfer Bethany Hamilton tells how she survived a shark attack that cost her arm—but not her spirit. They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one explain the passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothing—not even the loss of her arm—could come between her and the waves? The morning of Halloween 2003 in Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany responded to the shark’s stealth attack with the calm of a girl with God on her side. Pushing pain and panic aside, she began to paddle with one arm, focusing on a single thought: “Get to the beach.” And when the first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery was “When can I surf again?,” it became clear that her spirit and determination were part of a greater story—a tale of courage and faith that this soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world. Soul Surfer is a moving account of Bethany’s life as a young surfer, her recovery after the attack, the adjustments she’s made to her unique surfing style, her unprecedented bid for a top showing in the World Surfing Championships, and, most fundamentally, her belief in God. It is a story of perseverance and spiritual grit that shows the body is no more essential to surfing—perhaps even less so—than the soul. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 5 x 0.66 x 0 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade Level | 9 - 12 | | Isbn 10 | 1416503463 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1416503460 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print Length | 240 pages | | Publication Date | June 6, 2006 | | Publisher | MTV Books | | Reading Age | 14 years and up | ## Images ![Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board (An Inspiring True Story) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LGmdQXQ5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Book with a Soul *by on Reviewed in the United States September 8, 2012* Everyone may know already that this is the book about the 13 year-old surfer who lost her arm because of a shark attack. What they should also know is that this book was meant to be read by people of almost every age starting at 9 or 10 years old. Its language is accessible to fifth, sixth, and seventh graders. I'm actually using it in the classroom, and I have students talking about life lessons that Bethany shares: about being good team players, good losers, patient, and courageous in the face of adversity. In addition, we cover reading comprehension skills, such as main idea, author's purpose, drawing inferences, paragraph types, vocabulary, and grammar skills. Readers also get to know about Bethany's family, which is so important to her strong-willed nature. She goes into great details explaining how her parents and brothers helped develop her courageous character to be able to sustain a quite "tragic" incident. Courage in a 13-year-old child doesn't come out of the blue. Family and faith make the difference. This book is good not only if you plan to use it in the classroom, it's to be read by anyone who wants to find out the true source of courage. No need for self-help books with this one. It's down to earth and her description of family life and community life gives us the basics for overcoming obstacles and being successful - no quick gimmicks here. It's well written. The vocabulary and sentence structure of the book are appropriate for middle school students. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never give up! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 17, 2011* Bethany is an inspiration to all! I'm glad I got this book and not the original. In this book she goes behind the scenes of her movie "Soul Surfer". At the end of the book she keeps a journal of the whole movie experience. From picking out the actors to the day the movie was released. It's so awesome to see whole process! I love how she was so open about her faith and just laid it out black and white, plain and simple. Even while filming the movie she would constantly tell the director(Sean McNamara) to keep her faith as the main focus of the movie. Not only did she want to be a inspiration to the world but she wanted to do it through Jesus Christ. This is a book for all ages. Even if she wrote this as a teenager she has the maturity and wisdom that goes way beyond that. I'm 22 years old and I found this book so compelling. I could not put it down! I to am a Christian and in this world we live in it so easy for girls to sell themselves out, especially being in Hollywood. Bethany said in her book that she wants to continue to stay humble and be a good example to young girls out there, even after being famous. How cool is that! Not only has this surfer shown how talented and ambitious she is but, she got to show the world that with Jesus all things are possible! Thanks Bethany! :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing story! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 24, 2012* I had no idea this girl was as amazing as she is! I knew she had been through a lot, but I never knew she was so strong in her Christian faith. It was a fast read that's so worth it! I also enjoyed the 5 year update at the end of the book (since this book was written 5+ years ago) and the movie journal she has that talks about the movie that came out last month. If I had known this book was out, I would have read it years ago! My hubby is reading it now. I just love how this girl chose to face her trials. She's an amazing girl. :) I hope to meet her one day... ## Frequently Bought Together - Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board (An Inspiring True Story) - Captured on the High Seas (AIO Imagination Station Books) - The Redcoats Are Coming!
