Publish Date:2014 Author:Holly Goldberg Sloan Counting By 7s Counting by 7s is a book about a smart girl named Willow. Her parents die in a car crash,so Willow has to find someone new to live with. She has no other relatives so she has to live with her friend Mai and Mai’s brother Quang-Ha. Later in the story, Willow fixes up and paints an apartment, and she makes a garden. I recommend this book to 8 to 14 year olds boys and girls. The reading level is 3rd through 8th grade. I liked this book because it felt like I was in the book along the journey with Willow.
