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. In the meantime there are only questions: Why did this happen? Why her? What about her art? What about her life?
