Counting by 7s is one of the 12 Mark Twain Award nominees for 2016. I was quite intrigued by the drama and the cadence of this story from the very beginning, but I must warn you that it may be a difficult book to read unless you are able to read more difficult books. Here is a good book trailer for Counting by 7s: |
Sadly, about halfway through the story, I felt like the author lost her voice. It felt to me as if she had stopped writing for a while before picking it up again. The vocabulary just didn't seem the same. Additionally, I had really built myself for an exciting finish, but I was disappointed in the simplistic ending that the author delivered. Even so, I recommend the book, especially for deep-thinking and reflective students.
