A native legend and mysticism-based fiction storybook "Strong Heart" by Charlie Sheldon, which follows a thirteen-year-old homeless girl, Sarah, and her grandfather, Tom. I think this book could entertain me a lot.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Thank you for the review, I don't know if I would rate this 4 out of for with the poor narrative you mentioned and the lack of background of the characters.

Tank you! It was a really informative

Glad to see this book offered again. I read the story a while ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The character of Sarah, Tom's granddaughter was nicely developed. When she had gone missing for a few days and drew images of a 'bear', the story seemed at first unbelievable to Tom. Myra with native Indian roots believed Sarah and they forged a strong bond as the plot unfolded.

I don’t really listen to audiobooks so I’ll be taking a pass on this one. Nice that this book finally has a recorded version, though!

Imagine that you never wanted to take your 13-year-old grand-daughter that appeared from no where on a trip. When you eventually did, she went missing. Now that's a whole lot of adventure and adrenaline rush. I'd love to see how the story unfolds.

I read and reviewed this book a while ago. It is a fascinating, entertaining, adventure-filled reading that provides interesting scientific insight into the fields of anthropology and archeology. It also mentions intriguing legends and beliefs regarding the ancient natives.

Based on your review I think I would prefer reading the book than listening to its audible version. Nice story line. I am just wondering the connection between an assumed extinct animal and this Sarah.

I have read the sequel of this book. While the story is different, it did consist spoilers from this book, so I'm not very keen on reading it. However, I think people who'll be freshly starting this series will enjoy it. Thank you for the wonderful review!

There is a sense of intriguing mystery around the plot of this book that draws the readers towards it. This is the first time that I came across such a well written review of an audio book. It is indeed commendable. Thanks for the detailed insights.

I like the book and almost the author masterfully captures the essence of a teenage girl, lost in the world, and trying to believe in herself when most others don’t believe in her at all...nice review at all...!!

I have read this book and I can honestly say it's one of the best historical fiction books I've read so far. The characters are so defined and vocally distinctive. Reading this review feels like listening about it from someone else's perspective and it feels awesome. Thank you for the review.

I wonder about Sarah's disappearance and the supposedly extinct creature. Their lives are definitely in for a change. I like the mysterious and thrilling plot. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I enjoy listening to audiobooks so I understand how bad narration can ruin a book. I like this author's writing. Great job with the review.

When I read a novel, I enjoy learning something new while becoming lost in the story. In Strong Heart, Charlie Sheldon offers a terrific tale, but he also educates the reader about Native Northwestern American culture. Reading this book was time well spent and I enthusiastically encourage everyone who enjoys a great, uplifting story to read it. Congratulations to Mr. Sheldon on BOTD.
