More about The Mighty Heart of Sunny St. James

Twelve-year-old Sunny St. James navigates heart surgery, reconnecting with her lost mother, first kisses, and emerging feelings for another girl in this stunning, heartfelt novel--perfect for fans of Ali Benjamin and Erin Entrada Kelly. 

When Sunny St. James receives a new heart, she decides to set off on a "New Life Plan":

1) do awesome amazing things she could never do before;

2) find a new best friend; and

3) kiss a boy for the first time. 

Her "New Life Plan" seems to be racing forward, but when she meets her new best friend Quinn, Sunny questions whether she really wants to kiss a boy at all.
