The book Strong heart is authored by Charlie Sheldon. It describes a stubborn and austere girl, determined and persistent with her goals, no matter the circumstance. The story begins when she suddenly appeared at her supposed Grandfather's place who had no idea of her existence until the same moment they met, a time when they had planned to go on a hike into the woods particularly on Tom's account to tend his Grandfather's grave, Bob bob. Sarah joined them and together they set off for a journey that change their entire lives. She had unbelievable experiences, like when she saw an extinct species of a bear and the dream of a voyage for several months that occurred within the eight days she unexpectedly disappeared. The dream that gave some evidence to Myra's theories, William's Daughter, a friend to Tom.

Charlie's story had many positive aspects. He revealed how the mind could be used creatively when attempts are made to practice knowledge that was gained in a dream. Sarah was able to integrate the knowledge she acquired in the course of her voyage in the dream that led to designing ancient weapons she technically, knew nothing about. The same weapons she used in defending herself and her friends when they were about to be shot by some hoodlums. Everyone thought Sarah was insane until Sergei, William's friend Alexis' son, heard her dream and began proving it's reality, hence we might think our dreams are strange but it requires the right person to explain their meanings to us.

There was no negative aspect.

I enjoyed every line as I devoured the book. I can remember vividly, the night after I got the book, the clarity with which every idea was presented, the critical thinking ability of Charlie as expressed in the scientific theories, displaying his anthropological and archeological wealth of knowledge he acquired during his time in the sea as a consultant for fishery management council, kept me awake till three a.m in the morning. Due to these reasons and more, I will happily award it a rating of 4 out of 4 Stars.

I find this book editing perfect and almost complete as there was just a single typographical error on page 137. There was no sexual content but there were some violent scenes though not overly graphic.

Finally, Charlie's story was so captivating. It drove me into a thinking frenzy as I connected his data in the book and the theories he propounded. I will gladly recommend this book to every student since critical thinking is a relevant skill that is required in whatever academic field and also, particularly to archeologists for research purposes.
