Named one of the New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech masterfully weaves this tender and intuitive story told in free verse about a young girl beginning to understand the many rhythms of life, and how she fits within them. Everything changes over time, just like the apple Annie's been assigned to draw a hundred times. It's a rhythm that makes sense in a year when everything's shifting: Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is forgetful, and her best friend, Max, is always moody. When she's barefoot and running, she can hear her heart beating. That's what twelve-year-old Annie loves to do.
