A about A Heart in a Body in the World Printz Honor Publication

Each part of Annabelle’s 2,700-mile cross-country run brings her closer to facing a trauma from her past in National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti’s novel about the heart, all the ways it breaks, and its journey to therapeutic. Because occasionally against our will, against all odds, we go forward.

Then…

Annabelle’s life wasn’t perfect, nonetheless it was full—full of friends, family, love. And a guy…whose attention Anabelle discovered flattering and unsettling all at one time.

Until that attention intensified.

Now…

Annabelle is running. Running from the pain and the tragedy from the past year. With only Grandpa Ed and the journal she fills with phrases she can’t speak aloud, Anabelle works from Seattle to Washington, DC and toward a destination she doesn’t understand but is determined to reach. With every beat of her heart, every stride of her foot, Anabelle steps closer to healing—and the power she discovers within herself to allow love and wish back to her life.

Annabelle’s journey is the ultimate testament to the human heart, and exactly how it goes on after getting broken.
