Rendition In Pursuance Of Books This Is the Story of You

On Haven, a six-mile long, half-mile-wide stretch of barrier island, Mira Banul and her Year-Rounder friends have proudly risen to every challenge. But when a superstorm defies all predictions and devastates the island, when it strands Mira’s mother and brother on the mainland and upends all logic, nothing will ever be as it was. A stranger appears in the wreck of Mira’s home. A friend obsessed with vanishing is gone. As the mysteries deepen, Mira must find the strength to carry on—to somehow hold her memories in place while learning to trust a radically reinvented future.

Gripping and poetic, This Is the Story of You is about the beauty of nature and the power of family, about finding hope in the wake of tragedy and recovery in the face of overwhelming loss.

Sometimes the literary-ness felt a bit over the top to me, and the resolution of the relationship mysteries was abrupt and soapy. But the

Review book for journal so I won't give a rating but I will say it is one of the most beautifully written and compelling YA books that I have read this year.

On the first few pages of the This is the Story of You ARC, the publisher wrote a letter addressed to readers whove never read a Beth Kephart book, saying that he envies the experience readers are about to have.Intrigued, I started reading right away, and I could not stop.For me, the writing in this book stood out more than the plot. Reading Kepharts writing was a completely new experience for me as a reader. It was so interesting to visualize the story from the way Kephart describes it. Her

I actually met the author of this book on a cruise to Alaska with my cousin. She used me and my cousin, Gillian's, name in the book!

This book is This is the Story of You by Beth Kephart and while I was reading it I found it to be very interesting.

One of the characters in this book was Shift. No one really knows who he is, not his last name either. No one has a clue as to who he is. Another character in this book is a girl named Eva. Eva is a

What is the logic of rescue?We see pictures, we read stories, we try to imagine what we ourselves might do in the wake of a superstorm like the one that hits the tiny island of Haven in Beth Kepharts beautifully written novel, This Is the Story of You. What would we try to retrieve from the damage? How do we deal with the inability to reach family and friends? We had to survive because others hadnt, observes Mira, the seventeen-year-old narrator. We had to grieve the countless losses. And then
