kkop12 's review for:
Counting by 7s
by Holly Goldberg Sloan
Oh so many things to say about this book!!! So for young adult books I pretty much compare EVERYTHING to Wonder. I can say that this is the first book that even came CLOSE to that incredible book. I LOVED the main character and all the nutty other characters. I loved the surprise relationship at the end of the story. I loved the complexity of Willow and the insight she has about herself and the world around her…and she is 12. I love that all the characters are flawed but you love them anyway. I love that the book reminds you that STRANGE people on the outside are often incredible people on the inside. The only part that made me a little sad was the reason that Willow finds herself in her 'predicament'. That takes me a while to swallow. But in the end I realized that it took a lot of courage on the author's part to begin a story in this way. If you want a good read to share with your daughter or son, this is a good one. I am currently BEGGING Anna to read this. I need a discussion partner :-)
