Searching for David's Heart

Cherie Bennett's book Searching for David's Heart is a very exciting book. I was not able to put it down. It is about a boy named david who dies. His sister Darcy feels it is all her fault. David is a organ donor. He gives his heart to a little boy in Miami, Flordia who is about to die too. Darcy did not know about David's heart getting donated, until she sees it on the front page of the newspaper. This begins the serch for her brother's heart. Read the book to find out how David dies, and what his sister does about it. This book is very sad but yet exciting too. I loved reading this book so much. I usually don't enjoy reading but this book I could not put down. I am looking foward to reading more of Cherie Bennett's books.

Suspensful, but warming

Searching for Davids heart was one of the best books I have ever read. It shows a point that if you lose someone forever, their heart will still be with you. This book is about a girl named Darcie Deeton. She loved her brother David very much, and felt the same way back. Untill her brother met, "the girl of his dreams". Darcie would do anything to get rid of her. But, on Darcies Birthday she fallowed David and his girlfriend to the park. She saw them kissing, and then she knew that her brother didn't need her anymore, and that dissapointed her. She started started to run, and never wanted to stop. David saw her, and started to run after her. Darcie ran in between two cars, and heard a loud screech of cars wheels pounding on the brakes. Darcie turned slowly to see her own brothers body crippled on the ground. David had basically dies instantly. But they still took him to the hospital, and he died about three days later. Almost all of Davids body parts were healthy, so he donated them to people who needed the body parts. Darcie had wanted had wanted to find his heart, to know who go it and that David is still living, but only his heart. That is when her journey to find Davids heart started. I recommend this book for almost anybody.Searching for Davids heart is a realistic fiction book and it could happen to almost anybody. It is based in how much one person can love another, but when their gone, you can barely even live.
