HEARTBEAT

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. It's a rhythm that makes sense in a year when everything is shifting: Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is forgetful and her best friend, Max, is always moody. Everything is changing, just like the apple Annie's been assigned to draw a hundred times.

Written in verse this story celebrates a variety of life themes.
