After I wrote a passage of the book Hoot, I decided to write about another book. So the facts about Pokémon are now CANCELLED. Sorry for the inconvenience.
After I finished reading Hoot, I was wondering what book to read next. Then, something caught my eye. It was a book, called Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan, and on the cover, there were blue fish swimming upstream. But also on the cover, there was a red fish, swimming in the opposite direction than the other fish. Then I got so interested on this book, I read it every single day at school, and to this day, I am still reading it. Here is a little summary of the book if you have the courage to read it.
In the book Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan, the main character is eleven-year old Willow Chance, who is really smart (she can list a handful of multiples of the number seven). She just went to school (specifically Sequoia Middle School), and things were NOT going well. She has been accused of cheating on a test, and no one in the school has gotten a perfect score except for Willow, but she didn’t cheat! She is sent to a school counselor named Dell Duke, who later believes that she did nothing wrong! And just by being sent to school, little does Willow know that she will lose both of the people she loves the most.
Dell Duke is a school counselor at Sequoia Middle School, where he counsels kids with drug addiction, and all that other addictions and disabilities. He calls the kids he counsels “The Strange”, where kids were separated into four groups: Misfits, Oddballs, Lone Wolves, and the Weirdos. That has always been this way, until when he meets an eleven-year old girl named Willow Chance. Throughout the book, Dell will change his ways and clean up his acts, and he faces the biggest problem of all when two have been lost.
There are more points of view in the book, but that will give you too much detail. The book has 61 chapters in it, so it may take a while to finish. This book will have funny moments, but mostly sad moments, symbolizing the power of the cold, hard truth. Hope you enjoy the book!
