Summary Annie is growing up and getting used to changes in her life, like Max's moods, her grandfather's aging and the imminent arrival of her mother's new baby.Review 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 Review 'A writer of extraordinary perception, Sharon Creech has created a novel which generates considerable compassionate empathy for Annie, the central character, who is trying to understand her role in life wonderful to read in one session' Carousel Review Creech's brief, light, gracefully constructed portrait of Annie, who loves running and who never seems to miss a step, is readable and appealing in poetry form. Annie throws herself whole-heartedly into drawing, running barefoot in all seasons around her rural town, and observing the world. Intertwined stories about changes in Annie's world include the wait for and birth of her new sibling, her beloved grandfather's memory lapses, her best friend's ambition to win a cross-country race. Contained, pleasing glimpses into a perceptive child's mind, though without strong emotional resonance in the trajectory of the story: most readers will be unable to match Annie's sure sense of self at 12 ("I don't want to run in a herd"). Still, Annie leaves an impression of a cherished, familiar friend. (Fiction. 9-12) (Kirkus Reviews)Biography Sharon Creech lives in New Jersey where she writes her beautifully crafted and brilliant novels. LOVE THAT DOG was a 2001 Carnegie Medal highly commended title and RUBY HOLLER was the winner of the Carnegie Medal in 2003.
