Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 6 Up—Hamilton, a professional surfer who lost her arm after a shark attack but who returned to the sport to win a National title only a month later, is back with a new book about how to be fit, fun, and fabulous by eating healthy, exercising, and finding your inner self. Right from the start, Hamilton makes her religious background clear, but even though one whole chapter is devoted to faith, the overall focus is on inspiring her audience, not on preaching religious views (she even states, "No matter how much I want others to make improvements to their lifestyles, I can't push them to make a change"). Tween and teen girls will enjoy the writing, which makes readers feel as though they're having a one-on-one conversation with the author. Each chapter has tips and tricks on how to stay on task, as well as a Q&A session with Hamilton. The chapters on exercise and healthy eating are supported by a certified athletic trainer and a nutritionist and are easy to follow, and the step-by-step pictures of each workout make them accessible. The recipe and healthy eating chapters emphasize Hamilton's own food pyramid and her concept of a "clean green" diet, and the advice she gives will apply to most readers. This title will inspire girls to gain self-confidence and make better choices in their own lives.—Joanne Albano, Commack Public Library, NY

About the Author

Bethany Hamilton is a source of inspiration to millions. In 2003, while surfing, she lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark. With resilience and tenacity, Bethany returned to the water a month later, and within two years won her first national title. Her unbelievably positive attitude fascinated the world, resulting in an autobiography that was later adapted into the film Soul Surfer. Her courage and talent led to her induction into the Surfer’s Hall of Fame in 2017. Bethany and her husband, Adam Dirks, are also involved in charities such as Friends of Bethany, a foundation she and her family created to support amputees and youth. In addition, Bethany authored Body and Soul to encourage others toward confidence and fitness. Her new documentary Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable brings her passions together, showcasing her world-class surfing and love for life as well as her message of female empowerment and never giving up.

Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, faith and hope. At the age of thirteen, Bethany lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark, which seemed to end her career as a rising surf star. One month after the attack, she returned to the water and within 2 years had won her first National surfing title. In 2007, she realized her dream of surfing professionally. Her story has been told in a New York Times best selling autobiography and in the 2011 film, SOUL SURFER. Bethany's non-profit organization, Friends of Bethany, creates programs for amputees and youth aimed to offer hope to overcome through Jesus Christ. Using her platform as a professional athlete to promote living a fit and healthy lifestyle, she authored the book BODY AND SOUL in 2014. Bethany’s latest project, UNSTOPPABLE, a surf documentary which will showcase her as one of the best women surfers in the world, is set to release in Summer 2018, accompanied by a photo book and a children’s book. Her greatest joy is being a wife and mother, and she continues to touch and inspire lives globally as a professional surfer, and motivational speaker.

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s a definite keeper & I’ll be buying copies for the tweens (and girlfriends) in my life.

You want to be the best, beautiful inside and out, right?
Take a journey with surfer Bethany Hamilton while she shows you how living for God, trusting Him with your destination and some simple lifestyle changes can help you look healthier, feel more energetic, and give you an optimistic outlook on life.

The question is – Are you ready?

Hott Review:
About a year ago I suffered from depression, barely had the energy to get out of bed, had constant headaches, and constantly ached. Luckily, I have a doctor who just told be to change my diet and take some vitamins. He gave me some suggestions, based on a genetic test, and within weeks, I’d done a complete 360. I’d been on antidepressants for 20+ years & just a simple switch of my diet & I no longer needed them! I rarely get headaches anymore (The ones I get I can directly attribute to something like screen time). I know this won’t work for everyone, but isn’t your life worth the try?
What I liked: So, I didn’t expect to like this book. I’d purchased it for my daughter because I see that she’s going to follow my path if she’s not careful. I actually only decided to read it because I needed a YA book for a Wednesday review and needed to fill a slot in a challenge. I’d say that God definitely set this one up! ;)
First, I love how Body and Soul: A Girl’s Guide to a Fit, Fun and Fabulous Life is written. There are short sections packed with tons of facts, applicable suggestions, and fun tidbits. It makes you want to keep reading.
This isn’t an “It’s about me book”. I love how the author not only talks about how this has worked in her life but in others lives as well. There are suggestions from the author’s life, from her trainers, and from her husband. It’s really great how she pulled this together and makes the book read more like it’s a support system than a dictation.
What I didn’t like: Honestly, I loved this book. It’s a definite keeper & I’ll be buying copies for the tweens (and girlfriends) in my life.

I was looking at this book for myself, when I realized that it is meant for teens/tweens. I went ahead and purchased it for my 10 year old daughter, who is a swimmer. I love that this book explains the importance of exercise and nutrition during their lifetime - and especially important for athletes. I also love that it explains the importance of strength training/core strengthening, no matter what your sport. We have always taught our daughter about sports nutrition and "out of the water" training, but I think that she believes it more when she hears it from another athlete and it is in print. Solidifies what we have told her all along.

This is a great book for tween and teen girls! I wNt my daughters to have a healthy approach to life, and a positive self-esteem, and I think this is a great tool toward providing them with that. Bethany Hamilton has addressed workouts, recipes and daily life for girls in such a healthy, balanced way. I love that she emphasizes her relationship with God as being a vital part of her health and wholeness. My daughters personally wish there were more vegetarian recipes since we don't eat meat, but they still really like this book. Keep up the good work, Bethany!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for faith-based teens interested in total health
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018

Bethany is an encouraging athlete, with her own resilience story to share, which helps young women get committed to living a holistic fit lifestyle on all fronts. (Emotional, mental, physical, spiritual)

Written for young Christian women, the only complaint I have about this book is when she mentioned a struggle she went through, she didn’t mention the importance of prayer. Still, plenty of scripture was sprinkled throughout the book, and living all for the glory of God was encouraged, but I just found that a little odd, an oversight even?

Otherwise, the book was great. Shared a lot of good insight into healthy eating and exercise, and features easy –to- follow recipes, and exercises.

Bethany has her audience down: it’s twenty something women, and younger. Some of the photos taken for the book feature girls maybe 12 or 13 years old.

My 11-year-old says it's really good, and inspirational. I love it because it's written by a "cool" woman who can relate well to Tweens. The nutrition info and recipes are great, and I noticed that my daughter cares more about making good food choices now. A wonderful book that mothers and daughters can enjoy together. I wish I had this book when I was 11!

Bethany Hamilton believes in God and that is AWESOME!!!!! Bethany doesn't let anyone get in her way because she just has one arm. I like her because she doesn't care what other people think about her not having two arms. BOOK is WONDERFUL. Bethany has some great exercises in store for a lot of people.
