By Julie Johnston

Book Overview

"If you don't want your heart broken, don't let on you have one." Sara Moone is an expert on broken hearts. She is a foster child who has been bounced from home to home, but now she is almost sixteen and can not live in the system forever. She vows that she will live in a cold, white place where nobody can hurt her again. But there is one more placement in store for Sara. She is sent to live with the Huddlestons on their sheep farm. There, despite herself, Sara learns that there is no escape from love. It has a way of catching you off guard, even when you try to turn your back. When it was published in 1994, "Adam and Eve and Pinch-Me" won every major children's book award in Canada. Since then it has appeared in countries around the world. Its story of love and longing strikes a universal chord.

I Love This Book!

This book is really good. I think it has won an award. The story was really cute. I enjoyed reading about Sara. An excellent read. Get this book now! P.S-I'm not a kid- I don't have a login

Hits the bulls eye of the heart

Being both foster and adoptive parents, this is real stuff with real personalities and feelings portrayed. Wished I had read it in one sitting to get the full effect of the emotions.

Grrrrreat and I haven't even finished it!!

The book is great for me. I only started reading this afternoon and I already love it! It's about this great Sara Moone a very interesting character whom many people will be able to relate to. Once you start this book...you won't be able to put it down. Go get it!

Great Book!

This book was a great read! I especially enjoyed it because I'm interested in adopting in the future, and this gave me an insight into the foster care system, albeit in Canada. The writing was great, although it's definitely a young adult book and not an adult book! The plot line would be a bit too easy for adults, but I don't think this would be a problem with younger readers (high school would be fine with it).All in all, I really enjoyed this! I hope to read more of this author's books!
