Heartbeat is a 2004 children's book by American writer Sharon Creech, published by HarperCollins in the US and Bloomsbury in the UK.[1][2][3][4] It is aimed at children aged 10 and above.
Like Love That Dog, the book is written in free verse, which alters according to both the subject and the main character's mood.
Twelve-year-old Annie is having a very significant year. Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is forgetful, her best friend is always moody, and she has a new art assignment: draw an apple each day for one hundred days. She is friends with Max, a mysterious boy that wants to "escape."
