How to Build a Heart
by Maria Padian
Izzy Crawford is a sixteen-year-old whose father was killed in Iraq six years before the book begins. She and her mother have moved several times in the ensuing years. They have finally settled down in Virginia. Izzy is happy as a member of the a Capella group at her new high school to which she has a scholarship. Habitat for Humanity has chosen Izzy and her mother for a house – something neither of them have ever had and never thought they would ever have. Izzy is very happy until her life begins to unravel.
This is a well-written book with likable characters from Izzy and her mother to the minor characters like Izzy’s best friend, Roz. The plot, while a little thin, does have interesting twists and turns to keep the reader interested and reading.
If you enjoy reading young adult books, this may be the book for you.
Thanks to Algonquin and Edelweiss for an eARC.
