This book I am reading is called Counting by 7's, it is by Holly Goldberg Sloan and it is a really mind changing book. It is about a girl who was adopted at a young age, and her name is Willow Chance. She does not have many friends but the ones she does have she loves and cares for. In the book something devastating happens, something awful. Something that changes willows life forever!
The scene when Willow is lying to her parents reminds me of a similar scene in Crenshaw because Jackson was lying about his imaginary friend. But another scene when Dr. Dull Duke is naming everyone that he counsels it reminds me of how in the book Stargirl there are a lot of different groups that were named like the cheerleaders etc. Willow is like Jackson in the book Crenshaw because they both said in the book that they don't have many friends.
This story teaches how it is okay not to have many friends. Willow does not have a lot but she does have a few. The friends she has are good ones they are nice and sweet and are not just there like some.
I think Emma's draft was very well described, with lots of detail included in her draft. I actually really enjoyed reading her draft.
