Charlie Shelton with his book ‘Strong Heart’ took us on a wonderful journey full of positive emotions and love between family. Even after finishing this book, it is not possible to forget this book.

The main character in this story is Sarah Cooley. One night when Tom Olsen was getting ready with his Native American friends to visit his grandfather’s grave she knocked at Tom door. Sarah announced that she is thirteen years old and is Tom’s granddaughter.

Just from the very beginning of their meeting he knew that she was not an ordinary girl. She was not shy or scared. Sarah was very open, honest but mostly she did not care is she hurt anyone with her honesty. She even told her grandfather that he lives at the end of the earth and that all she can see is dripping forest, tall trees and rain.

Tom knows that in this situation he needs to cancel the trip and take care of his granddaughter. But when his friends suggested to take Sarah with them, Tom agreed. At this point Tom hopes that this backpack trip will teach Sarah something that will stay with her forever.

But Tom and his friends did not aspected that maybe Sarah can teach them something what they will never forget.

This book is full of adventure, a tinge of mystery and many unexpected turns. This book is also funny and very detailed so that we have the impression that we are with the whole body and spirit on this trip with Sarah. Durning this book, we notice how the relationship between granddaughter and grandfather develops. In this Book we can also find many story’s about Tom and his family and what he been trough.


I would definitely give this book 4/4 starts. I love the way the author wrote the book and I love the character of Sarah. Despite her young age, she is a very interesting, smart and funny character in this book. I also adore how author described the whole trip. He used a very modern languages so it was not hard to read. While I was reading I came to the point where I could not put the book down. I had to know what would happened next and what the characters had to face.

What also make this book so interesting and good is that the author has a great knowledge of he thinks that he described in detail in his book. Thanks to this, we can identify with this book even better.
