In the tradition of Out of My Mind, Wonder, and Mockingbird, this is an intensely moving middle grade novel about being an outsider, coping with loss, and discovering the true meaning of family. Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasn't kept her from leading a quietly happy life . . . until now. Suddenly Willow's world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd, but extraordinarily endearing, girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read. "Holly Goldberg Sloan writes about belonging in a way I've never quite seen in any other book. This is a gorgeous, funny, and heartwarming novel that I'll never forget."--John Corey Whaley, author of Where Things Come Back "Willow Chance subtly drew me into her head and her life, so much so that I was holding my breath for her by the end. Holly Goldberg Sloan has created distinct characters who will stay with you long after you finish the book."--Sharon Creech, Newbery Award-winning author of Walk Two Moons "In achingly beautiful prose, Holly Goldberg Sloan has written a delightful tale of transformation that's a celebration of life in all its wondrous, hilarious and confounding glory. Counting by 7s is a triumph."--Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, BernadetteBinding Type: Hardcover

La calidad
Size: Queen, Color: Beige
I bought this blanket set and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. It is beautiful, with an elegant design that gives a special touch to the room. But it is not only beautiful, it is also incredibly soft and comfortable, perfect for resting after a long day.
The quality is felt from the first moment, and it shelters just enough to feel welcomed without being heavy. Since I have it, sleeping feels much more pleasant.
Without a doubt, I recommend it with my eyes closed. It's a purchase that is totally worth it 💖✨

So cute! Not sure if it will hold up though
Size: Queen, Color: Baby Pink, Size: Queen, Color: Baby Pink
This comforter set is so cute! I love how vibrant the pink is. It is also super duper soft. The quality is okay though. There's a lot of random threads coming out, so I honestly don't know how long it will hold up after multiple washes. There's no weight to it either. It's just soft and fluffy which I love. The size is true to size too. It's a real queen size.
I love the fact that the fancy pillowcase has pockets. I absolutely adore this style because it keeps your pillow inside at all times. The regular pillowcase is just the normal. No pockets or anything like that.
You can see how vibrant this comforter set by comparing it to my weighted blanket that I have underneath it. It's a super vibrant pastel pink, and I love it!
I've also been sleeping like a baby ever since I used this set. The comforter set is really so fluffy and soft that it feels like a marshmallow. Since I also pair it with my weighted blanket, it's seriously a dream come true.
Overall, I'd recommend this. I just don't know how long it will last after multiple washes.

Nice bedding set for price
Size: Queen, Color: Olive Green
I bought a set of these for my bedroom and guest room. They are true to color, relatively soft, fit perfect, and the comforter is pretty fluffy. The sheets didn't wrinkle and they are easy to wash and dry without doing anything special. My dog stained my guest room set and I absolutely will be ordering another one

Great set for the price!
Size: Queen, Color: Beige
I’ve had the set for several months now and I really like this set. I was nervous about the comforter being thin and cheap, however, after washing and drying it is a really good comforter for the price. The sheets and pillow cases are also very smooth, no pilling or ripping, stitches are still intact, so I think it is set is great.
