Title- Heartbeat

Points- 2.0
Level-5.0
Heartbeat is about a girl named Annie. Her mom is pregnant and her grandpa is losing his memory. Her grandpa had to move in with her family because his wife died and had nowhere to go. Her best friend, Max is always moody so he is no help. The only thing to relieve her stress is to run barefoot and hear her heart beating. When Annie has to go see her mother give birth during Max's big race he gets really mad at her. Annie has also kept a secret at this time, she loves to draw. Her art teacher assigned the class to draw the same apple one hundred times but when her grandpa takes a bite from the apple the picture ends up changing, just like her life. Always changing.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes quick and short books. Even though I prefer long books this book was really good. The book is really easy to comprehend and is like a long poem. The words really flow together. I actually recommend this for boys and girls because its just a regular 12 year old going through changes that we are going through right now.

Welcome
Hi Students,
Each student is required to post a blog on this site at least once each quarter. You will be following the format below to tell about an Accelerated Reader (AR) book you have completed. This book must be written on your reading log and have a parent's or teacher's signature. Your entry on this blog site will be graded. It is up to you when you post your information although you will probably want to do this as soon as you have taken your AR test on a book.
In addition, students may want to respond to a "blog" written by another student. At any time throughout the quarter, students may write their own opinions or feedback about another entry written on this site. All entries will be monitored for appropriateness.
Your classmates will enjoy reading what you write either in your entry or in response to someone else's. Have fun with this. :-)
