Miss_Bartlett's review
Heartbeat by Sharon Creech
This is one of the Young Hoosier Books for this year (the program nominates 20 books every year that have been recommended by librarians, students, and teachers from Indiana). It reminded me of Sonya Sones' book, "What My Mother Doesn't Know" because the entire book was written in open verse style. It was a fast read, but the story wasn't new to me. It was an okay book. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking, but it wasn't as depressing as last year's books.
