Amazing story about a little boy who unwittingly runs away from home after yet another abusive tirade at the hands of his father and finds himself having to survive on his own. He is brave and smart and I wanted to grab him up, hug him tight, and tell him everything is going to be okay. He winds up living in a tree house on the property of an older woman, fending for himself. Luckily he has a grandmother searching for him. Unluckily, so is his father. It's a beautiful story which I thoroughly en...
Logan is 9 years old and cannot talk . He hasn’t spoke for Mum died when he was 6 year old . He dad was an abusive one and he cannot believe that Granny has been looking for him . I would like to thank Netgallery for having it .
AmateurJust felt very simple and not developed enough. Boring. Predictable and trite, perfect full circle ending. Characters very 1 dimensional.
I have read so many reviews on this book and was completely surprised at my opinion when I read it. I expected more. Here is my review. Half a Heart, I had been looking at this little boy hanging out the window on the cover of this book and watching and reading the reviews so I decided to pick it as my Prime free lending book for the month. Sometimes you can’t judge a book by the cover nor can you really trust the reviews. Not saying the book was bad, just wasn’t near a great book.I am very much...
First let me just say... WOW!!! This book was top of the chart AMAZING! I have never read anything more touching the Half a Heart by Karen Mcquestion. This book is about a little abused boy named Logan who has had a tough life..... Logan is abused, he cannot speak, he was told that his grandmother was dead, and he witnessed his mothers death... Thats a lot of trauma for one little boy! Whenever Logan was caught out of his room whenever he was told not to come out then things get messy.... No i r...
What a wonderful story, beautifully written and well told. This book has really touched my soul.This is the tale of Logan, a nine year old boy who has lost not only his mother but his protective barrier between him and his cruel father. He suffers in ways most of us would never consider and his life is bleak but when he spots an opportunity to escape, he runs. This is a book full of life, following Logan and finding out what happens to him - and to the man who fathered him.Skilfully created, thi...
4.5 StarsI want to thank Goodreads reader, Brittany kirsten , for this recommendation. I've been searching for a book that would remind me why I love to read. A good story is a good story and this checks the boxes. There are layers of characters that add so much to Logan's journey of healing. Logan is a nine year old boy who has suffered too much trauma at the hands of his father and finds a way to escape, but Logan's path to normal comes with new challenges but he discovers his strength and det...
For the life of me, I do not understand why this book gets such high reviews. What are the problems? Let me count the ways:1. The book is predictable. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like predictable, I have a subscription to the Hallmark Channel for Pete’s sake. But if you’re going to do predictable, you’d better have some characters that sparkle. These characters? Meh...2. Poor little Logan Weber is screwed because while his grandma and a bunch of cops are looking for him, guess who actually DOES f...
Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my review or rating. What a really good book. You will find yourself caught up in the life of Logan and everyone that is connected to him in some way. McQuestion does a good job of handling multiple points of view (you get Logan, his grandmother, a speech therapist, an elderly woman, and a married couple) while keeping the main story of Logan and his plight front and center. I really enjoyed the ending and I hope that if Mc...
