Out of Heart is another gorgeous book donated to us by the wonderful people at the Children’s Bookshop in Kilbirnie. It follows Adam, an unusual and reclusive 15 year old with a huge artistic talent. He comes from a family broken by years of abuse, trying to recover from the death of his grandfather (his “Dadda”). Into this storm of emotion walks William, another lost soul, but one who has been granted a second chance: he has just had a heart transplant as a result of the death of Adam’s Dadda. This unlikely scenario is one that leads all parties down the much needed road to recovery. It’s a lovely and not difficult read, although it deals with some very heavy issues.
