RUN RUN RUN. ThatтАЩs what twelve-year-old Annie loves to do. When sheтАЩs barefoot and running, she can hear her heart beatingтАжthump-THUMP, thump-THUMP.
ItтАЩs a rhythm that makes sense in a year when everythingтАЩs 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 AnnieтАЩs 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 girl┬аbeginning to understand the many rhythms of life, and how┬аshe fits within them.
