Willow Chance es una niña superdotada de doce años de edad, obsesionada
con la naturaleza y el diagnóstico de enfermedades, y a quien le encanta
contar de siete en siete. Nunca le ha resultado fácil congeniar con
otras personas que no fueran sus padres adoptivos, sin embargo, eso no
le había evitado llevar una vida tranquila y feliz... hasta ahora. De
repente, el mundo de Willow cambia trágicamente cuando sus padres mueren
en un accidente de coche, dejándola sola en un mundo desconcertante.
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.
