What is My Name is Mina about?

Mina McEvoy is unlike anyone else. She sees the world in unusual ways, asks unexpected questions and refuses to follow ordinary rules. When she begins writing in an empty notebook, her thoughts spill into stories, memories, lists and drawings. As Mina explores school, family, friendship and the mysteries of life, she searches for meaning after her mother’s death. This imaginative journal offers a vivid glimpse into Mina’s mind before she meets Michael and the strange creature called Skellig.
