If there is one thing that Annie likes to do, it is run. She likes to run for herself and hear her steady heartbeat. It seems like running is the only thing that makes sense among all the changes that are happening in her life: her mom is pregnant, her grandpa is forgetful, and her best friend, Max, is always moody. Annie knows that she cannot control any of these things, but what she can control is her running. But will running really help her get through all these changes that are happening in her life? Is she running away from these changes so that she does not have to deal with them?
This book is interestingly written in poetry form, so it took a little while to get used to it, but once I did, I could not put it down! I think middle school students would be able to relate to strained frienships at a time when all you need is a friend to talk to, especially when there is an unexpected turn of events. In times like these, it's nice to know that family and friends will always be there for you.
