I love that Strong Heart is a unique and magical story with a powerful plot, interweaving a blend of science, mysticism, and family ties. I also love the fact that the characters mysterious backgrounds add an enchanting, mystical tone to the story.

This sounds like an interesting story. The mystery surrounding Sarah's characters makes it more intriguing. I would love to give this a go. Congrats on BOTD!!

The premise of this book is definitely intriguing because how could it have felt that on the day you plan to go away with your friends, someone knocks at your door and surprises you by telling you that he/she/they are your grandchild. Since the grandchild is quite young, I can see how this novel is a coming-of-age one. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

Since I'm not a big fan of sci-fi, especially those involving the search for one's family history, I'll have to pass on this book. But I'll be recommending this book to my friends who would love to read this story involving mystery and adventure.

The story sounds mysterious and I’d love to know what happened to Sarah or why she disappeared. I don’t think the robotic narrative will make the story less enjoyable.

I read so many beautiful reviews about this book, including yours. I can't wait to see how this book will unfold beautifully, from its natural history to its presence in the culture of the local people. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to read this.

Though not much of a listener, I could not brush Sarah's audible book, the story challenged me to want to know more.
I enjoyed the book during the journey to visit the cemetery. But I find it difficult to differanciate between some voices. I give the book 3 out of 5.

Having a huge interest in Native American culture and customs, this is a book I believe I will enjoy, though I would prefer the written novel rather than an audio book. I do not really enjoy audio books.

I love the fact that the writer did not provide a backstory for the main characters, you get to know them through their interactions with one another.

This story is a mystery with two main characters, a 13-year-old girl named Sarah and her grandfather Tom. Tom did not even know about Sarah's existence until she was dropped off at his door step. When Sarah arrived, Tom was about to leave with his friends to visit the grave of Tom's grandfather located on the Olympic Peninsula. Tom decides to take Sarah with the group and after Sarah drew a picture of a short-faced bear she disappears with an ancient artifact. One needs to read the book to find out what happened to Sarah and the important artifact. Good review of the audio book.

In my opinion, I love the plot and storyline of this book. To me, the author did a good job in the characterization of this book. I'd love to know if Tom was able to find his granddaughter, Sarah. Thanks for your honest review.

After reading the review I will for sure read the book. The author has given a sad background story to the child and also a special ability which interests me. Thank you for the review.
