AL MOMENTO ESAURITO

Heartbeat by Sharon Creech (2012, Trade Paperback)

"A stunning accomplishment. This story pierces the heart." -- Chicago Sun-Times RUN RUN RUN . That's what twelve-year-old Annie loves to do. When she's barefoot and running, she can hear her heart beating... thump-THUMP , thump-THUMP . It's a rhythm that makes sense in a year when everything's shifting: Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is forgetful, and her best friend, Max, is always moody. Everything changes over time, just like the apple Annie's been assigned to draw a hundred times. Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech masterfully weaves this tender and intuitive story told in free verse about a young girl beginning to understand the many rhythms of life, and how she fits within them. Named one of the New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing "Tenderhearted. Vintage Creech. Its richness lies in its sheer simplicity." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "The story soars as Annie's feet fly." -- Bookpage
