Counting By 7's

  1. I thought this was a very sad story, but also really moving because of the friendship part. I think it was a very abrupt beginning what with the immediate suspense, but after that it sort of mellowed out. I can't believe Dell Duke was qualified to be a school counselor, though.

  2. I thought this was a very good story, but their were some some sad parts, but they all mellowed out during the book, the friendship in this book is really good. My favorite character is Dell Duke,

  3. The sad part in this story, is that the parents don't pay attention to their kids a lot, they just worry about other things. The people that are in a good friendship in this story is Dell Duke and Mai.

  6. The charcters that are in the story right now make this book so good, it even might make you wanna read the paragraph twice! In otherwise I am almost done with this book and it's very interesting.

  7. I have finished the book 'counting by 7s'. This book was such a good book because the characters are all doing something that make you fall in to the book. My favorite character in this book was Dell Duke.

  9. The quote on the cover says, "If you're lost, you might need to swim against the tide." What do you think this means in relation to the story?

    1. If something tragic happens in your life, you may need to look at the situation in another way, find another path, so that you can feel better about life.

  10. I just started this book and I already love this book. I love the way (Holly Goldberg Sloan)
    uses her language like this one, "Time out, It probably wasn't 257 I need to think of it (2+5=7. And 257 is a prime number. So what I mean is that she says time out. That is pretty cool.

  12. Now that I have got done with the chapter Dell Duke it was a realy good chapter. I found some observations for example the auther always does like plus and also so that makes the bok a little more better in a way as teeling the story and then poseing the book and saying somthing realated to the book but not egsacley telling the book.

  13. This narator has her own way of telling her storys. The way she does it is going from one chaper to the next but se makes it so that the chapter that is after is a comeply diffrent part. I have to say this is the 2 best book I have ever read my first was the one and only Iven. I like books with realy good descrption. This book caches your mind and pulls you right in. So far the narator has given somthing a way.......

  16. Every time that Holly Goldberg Sloan talks about a person (character) she talks about every little thing about the person. About the clothes and what they physically look like. She says that a lot of people are hot shots which I guess they are not actually a hot shot, She just says she is. I love how she says that she can tell but when somebody is really not what she thinks. Willow writes letters to herself and she keeps them so that she can remember her life when she was younger. Willow's mom and dad's names are Roberta and Jimmy. In the beginning of the book Willow's parents did not spend a lot of time with her.

  18. I am almost done with this book. I would like to see more boks that she wrote or if she even wrote more books. I also have another question did she right picture books or chapter books. This book has fun parts and in my opinon relly boring parts but you have to remember that you can live throuh the boring parts becase always most of the time the fun part come next.

  20. I just started the book and I think it's kind of weird that the author (Holly Goldberg Sloan) decided to put a tragedy at the beginning. I think that it did play out really well the way the characters and the reader go back in time to earlier. I think it's a pretty good book so far, but i've just started it.

  21. I think it's kind of weird that Willow decided to go to school looking like she normally would. It seems like at the beginning of school almost everybody wears something other than they normally would because they're not comfortable with the people they will be going to school with.
