Tin Heart
by Shivaun Plozza
A year ago, Marlowe was considered the dying girl at school. She needed a heart transplant and well, she honestly was going to die unless she received one. She did and now she has a second chance at life.
Marlowe wants to know more about the person who donated her new heart, and more about their family so she tries to hunt them down.
It was a look into how a transplant can safe a life. If that person hadn't signed that donor card, Marlowe would have died. There was also a part where the doctor was looking out the window and it was raining and they mentioned how basically for her to get a heart, someone would have to die in an accident. A bit morbid, but that is true. Marlowe wants to live, but she realizes that for her to get a heart, something very bad has to happen to someone else.
The best character in the book was her younger brother. He was quirky and just such fun. He dresses fun, has a positive attitude, is outspoken and not shy. I liked hearing about his crazy clothes.
An interesting look into donor transplants and how that effects multiple people, the donor family and the person who can now live again.
