Laura Silverman takes the reader into the shoes of Anise Sawyer as she takes on a new kind of summer than she originally planned.
Anise Sawyer grows up with the Santa Cruz beach in her backyard. She is a dedicated surfer and has her summer all planned out before half of her friend group moves onto college.
However, when her aunt gets in a car crash, her father is quick to pick up their life and move to Nebraska to help out the family.
Character development with Girl out of Water hits new levels as Anise struggles with finding her true self and priorities within life.
While in Nebraska, she finds unlikely comfort in skateboarding and two adopted brothers, who are into adventures and creating the most of their summer.
Anise finds love, fun, and adventure within the Nebraska heat creating a new outlook on life.
“Look.” Lincoln nudges me, then nods at Parker and Noah. They’re trying to ride on the same skateboard, balancing by holding each other, giggling and falling, and trying again. “Home isn’t a place. It’s people. And I’ve always been with my people,” (Excerpt from page 199).
Girl out of Water will not only show the reader themes surrounding new opportunities and outlooks on life but also how one can truly find themselves after stepping out of their comfort zone.
