Product Description

Review
'A tenderhearted story told in spare, free-verse poems. Readers will enjoy meeting Annie, her family, and friends and will appreciate her resilience and spirit. This is vintage Creech, and its richness lies in its sheer simplicity' (Starred Review) School Library Journal "Heartbeat is a warm-hearted, free-verse story from award-winning Sharon Creech, much in the same mould as her wonderful Love That Dog" Financial Times 'Gets under your skin and you will want to read it again. Creech has the ability to write about relationships, particularly between young and old, in the most affecting yet unsentimental way' Scotsman

Product Description
A touching story about a young girl finding her identity and learning how it fits with the many rhythms of life. Annie loves running, drawing, and her family. She has a best friend called Max who also loves running, but things are not so great in Max's life. As the two come to terms with growing up and getting on and dealing with the many events and pressures around them a new and wonderful rhythm is established. A classic novel by a Carnegie Medal-winning author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 30 Jan 2007
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
In this poetic novel by acclaimed author Sharon Creech, Annie, a twelve-year-old girl, is trying to find out who she is. A lot happens in this short one-hundred-and-eighty-page book.

Annie's mother is pregnant, her grandfather is beginning to forget things, and her friend Max is extremely moody. Annie loves to run, and throughout the book there are "thump, thump, thump" lines where she can hear her heart beat in rhythm with her feet, which are running hard. Hence the title of the book.

In Annie's art class, the students are asked to take an apple and draw a picture of it for one hundred days. At the end of the project the students are to turn in one hundred drawings. There are poems in the book devoted to the one apple.

I love Ms. Creech's writing and admire her poetic style. The characters come alive as if you knew each one of them personally. I love reading books like that; they seem so real. HEARBEAT is a simple, fun, fast read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for all 10 year olds, 10 Feb 2006
By V P TUCKER (Bieldside, Aberdeen United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heartbeat (Hardcover)
This is a superb book if you are teaching a poetry module to 10-11 year olds. If they have read 'Walk Two moons' they will enjoy the poetry link.
