The book Heartbeat is a RI children’s book award book that is definitely one of the best. The story is by Sharon Creech. It is about 12 year old Annie who loves to run barefoot with her friend Max, since forever. But along with her old grandfather, her mom’s pregnancy, Max with his moody emotions, and her art assignment to draw one hundred apples, things with Annie right about now are going hectic. This book is a realistic fiction that shows you to live with the life you have and enjoy it. I recommend this book to anyone who is craving one great book.

This book will be good for someone who likes poems. You will like Heart  Beat. I liked this book and I bet you will too. My favorite part was when the baby came into the family. This book made me happy, sad, but not mad.  So read Heart Beat ,it’s good.

This book was an amazing story. Annie was a little girl that loved to run barefoot. Her best friend was Max he loved to run too! Max wanted Annie to try out for a track team but Annie didn’t want to. Annie’s teacher said to draw an apple 100 times and each time Annie got better. My favorite part was when Annie was running and she describes all the things she’s doing.

The book Heartbeat is a great book for a person who likes to read. Heartbeat was a good book for me because it taught me a good lesson. For example, when a baby is coming into the family just remember the baby looks up to you to show him or her where to go .So if you love to read this is a great book to read. If this book was good for me trust me it will be good for you.
