''Heartbeat'' is a 2004 children's book by Sharon Creech, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. 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 Annie's mood, giving it a poetic feeling. ''Heartbeat'' was nominated for the 2005 Carnegie Medal. ==Literary significance & criticism== *'A writer of extraordinary perception Sharon Creech has created a novel which generates considerable compassionate empathy for Annie, the central character, who is trying to understand her role in life… wonderful to read in one session' — Carousel Autumn 2004 issue 28 *'Sharon Creech creates a highly readable story… the free verse lines are easy on the ear and the pages turn swiftly…''Heartbeat'' is a different reading experience…unusual, yet highly engaging' — Scholastic Best Books 2004 *'Sharon Creech is the queen of feel good.
