My Heartbeat won the Printz Award Honor. Fourteen-year-old Ellen loves her older brother Link—and she really loves his best friend James. They're the only company she ever wants. And when they fight, she makes sure to never to take sides. She looks up to her brother, the math genius and track star. And she is head over heels for James, with his long eyelashes and hidden smiles. But then something happens that makes Ellen question the kinds of love shared between the three of them—someone at school asks if Link and James might be in love with each other. The question is simple enough—but Link refuses to discuss it. And then James refuses to stay friends with a boy so full of secrets. Ellen's parents want Link to keep his secrets to himself, but Ellen wants to know who her brother really is. Is her curiosity a kind of betrayal? And if James says he loves Ellen, isn't that just another way of saying he still loves Link?
