Overview
āA stunning accomplishment. This story pierces the heart.ā āChicago Sun-Times
RUN RUN RUN. Thatās what twelve-year-old Annie loves to do. When sheās barefoot and running, she can hear her heart beatingā¦thump-THUMP, thump-THUMP.
Itās a rhythm that makes sense in a year when everythingās shifting: Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is forgetful, and her best friend, Max, is always moody. Everything changes over time, just like the apple Annieās been assigned to draw a hundred times.
Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech masterfully weaves this tender and intuitive story told in free verse about a young girlĀ beginning to understand the many rhythms of life, and howĀ she fits within them.
