When his mother forces him to move with her to a new house, Evan Calhoun doesn’t expect much. Sure, he’ll have to
move all his stuff, but he’ll still go to the same school and have the same friends.
Little does he know that there’s a spirit occupying his new room, a spirit who will mistake him for her dead lover and
change his life forever.
BEATING HEART was really interesting, and my favorite part was the way the story is told. The point of view
alternates between Evan and the ghost, and the ghost speaks in beautiful verse fragments that definitely make the book
worth reading.
