Title: A Heart in a Body in the World

Author: Deb Caletti

Age Recommendation: 12+

Maddi’s Review:

When everything in Anabelle’s life seems to go downhill, there is only one thing she can do; run across the United States. She decides that she is going to run 2,700 miles, or 16 miles a day for over five and a half months. With the help of her grandpa, an old camper van, her friends, and a few ‘Go Fund Me’ supporters, she sets off on an emotional rollercoaster. “A Heart in a Body in the World” is an absolutely stunning novel about loss, heartbreak, friendship, family and running. The audience will not only want to read about Annabelle’s journey; they will want to become part of it. With twists and turns around every corner, the reader will be on the edge of their seat. It is very inspiring and full of character
