Binding Type: Compact Disc
Published: March 2004
* Out of Print *

Annotation: Run run run.

That's what twelve-year-old Annie loves to do. When she's barefoot and running, she can hear her heart beating...

Thump-THUMP, thump-THUMP.

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. Everything is changing, just like the apple Annie's been assigned to draw a hundred times.

Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech masterfully weaves this story about a young girl beginning to understand the many rhythms of life and how she fits within them.
