Counting by 7s Review: Counting by 7s - This is the first middle-grade book I’ve read that was so compelling I couldn’t put it down. My boys were also enthralled with it and they both gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. My eight-year old is highly sensitive about death and tragedy so the fact that he liked it even though Willow’s parents die is pretty amazing. He said he liked it because he could relate to Willow. I think most kids will find something about Willow to relate to even if they aren’t a super genius like she is. I loved Willow. I liked her observations about life and people. I thought all of the characters were wonderful even though they all had their flaws. Dell, the school counselor is horribly inept which I found to be a unique twist on this type of story. Normally, I would expect that the school counselor would be the hero, helping Willow cope with the loss of her parents. Instead, Willow is the one helping him. That’s a running theme in this story – Willow gets support from a variety of people but she teaches them all things too. It’s a two-way street. I really appreciated the fact that there were several characters of color in this book, including Willow herself. It’s nice to see diversity in any book but especially in one for children. This book was a selection for the Intergenerational Book Club my sons and I belong too. Ideas for theme related snacks included seven-layer dip and seven-layer cake. The book club is through the Unitarian Universalist church that my family attends. UUs have seven principles that we strive to live by so part of our discussion included which of the seven principles are represented in the book. (If you look at the principles on the UUA’s website you’ll probably notice that they seem pretty wordy for middle-grade kids to understand. We have more simplified versions of the them that the kids learn in Sunday school.) Anyway, I’m not trying to proselytize – I just thought it was neat that they tied into our discussion so well because there are seven of them. Counting by 7s is a powerful story about family, community and the power of love. Highly recommended for kids of all ages. Review: Heartfelt, Honest, and Unforgettable - Counting by 7s is a beautifully written story about loss, resilience, and finding family in unexpected places—deeply moving and full of hope. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,042 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #112 in Children's Books on Girls' & Women's Issues #116 in Children's Parents Books #282 in Children's School Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,692) | | Dimensions | 5.13 x 1.13 x 7.75 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 5 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 014242286X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0142422861 | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | September 16, 2014 | | Publisher | Rocky Pond Books | | Reading age | 10+ years, from customers | ## Images ![Counting by 7s - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gCRqfvPAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Counting by 7s *by R***Y on May 6, 2015* This is the first middle-grade book I’ve read that was so compelling I couldn’t put it down.

The story entangles six unique characters, all with their own quirkiness, and brings them all together. The story is sad, funny, heart warming, and eye opening. The reading was simple, but the message, powerful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/6433625-counting-by-7s](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/6433625-counting-by-7s) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
