Alex Davis, “The Genius of Pike's Run” returns from Yale after five years, and anxious to show off his invention that might revolutionize electricity. He also can't wait to see Julia Forrester, best friend and best love. From the first day home, she avoids him like the plague. He doesn't understand and tries everything he can think of to spend time with her—to no avail.
Composer Julia
Forrester has loved Alex Davis since their school days. While he acted as confidante
and champion for her as she struggled with her studies, she helped him with his
inventions. She'd thought he'd loved her, but when he went off to college—and
rarely wrote—her heart broke. Now that Alex is back, she is determined to move
on with her life and the symphony she’s written. Past hopes and dreams will not
overtake her again—despite the steps Alex takes to win his best friend and
first and only love back.
Our Review:
It’s always a treat to read a story from Kara O’Neal’s heart-warming,
family-oriented Pike’s Run series. Her talent for drawing vivid descriptions of
people, places and things draws the reader in immediately. And as always, she
reaches deep down to tackle human issues and emotions with a realism and common
sense. With The Inventor’s Heart, we meet an intrepid heroine who
suffers with dyslexia but doesn’t let that keep her back from her music and her
life. As well, this reader anyway, learned more about the mysteries of
electricity. A twofer. Who could ask for more?
On a scale of 1-5, The Inventor’s Heart deserves a 5.
