Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan
Counting by 7s is a great book full of twists and turns. Willow is a 12 year old girl who is incredibly smart and socially challenged. Willow is adopted and her parents shelter her and understand her. She doesn't fit in at school, although she creates a special bond with her counselor Dell Duke, and siblings Mai and Queng Ha. Willow always relies on counting by sevens, but one day, her whole world is turned around. She comes home from school one day to learn that her parents got in a car accident and died. Mai convinces her mom Patty to take Willow in temporarily, and eventually permanently. What will happen to Willow now that her parents cannot shelter her? Will she keep counting by 7s and swimming against the current, or will her life change for the better?
