Synopsis
Annie is a runner, and she's never happier than when running barefoot on the grass, listening to the "thump-thump, thump-thump" of her heart. Running and drawing seem to be her only anchors these days. As her grandfather, a former running champion, declines into senility, a new baby is soon to join her family. At 12, Annie is bewildered by all the changes, and can't even take refuge in her best friend, Max, who has become more competitive and distant. HEARTBEAT is written entirely in verse. Sharon Creech was awarded the 1995 Newbery Medal for WALK TWO MOONS., Twelve-year-old Annie ponders the many rhythms of life the year that her mother becomes pregnant, her grandfather begins faltering, and her best friend (and running partner) becomes distant.
