Reviews
When Adams father dies and donates his heart to someone with a serious heart condition, Adam and his family gets a knock on their door from William, who tells them that he has their grandfathers heart inside him. Out of Heart is about the life of a boy called Adam who had a shady past of his father beating him. Farah, Adam's younger sister, can not talk since her fall down the staircase. Adam loves art but he does not draw like the examiners want him so how will he succeed in his art GCSE. This book has lots of twists turns and funny nicknames. You will also learn some new facts about the heart like female hearts beat faster than male hearts and a dot-to-dot drawing of Icarus and his wings, from the Greek Mythology.
