Counting by 7s- book Review

Have you ever read a book that got you all touched because of the authors craft? Well, if you like those kind of books, then this book is totally for you! Have you ever read any of Holly Goldberg Sloan's books? Well, you should!! She does a really good job at authors craft. Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan is about a girl named Willow Chance that learns about life and how not everything is her way. And in this book, you will understand how Willow Chance is feeling. When you read this book, you will understand why the author craft it this way.

In this book, Willow Chance is different from others, meaning she's smarter than others, she likes counting by 7s, (unlike others who like playing video games, etc.) and she also has a lot of family issues. This makes the book interesting because you can compare and contrast after when you read the book with what you thought before and what you think after the book. You can also compare and contrast about Willow and you.

One thing that I really liked about this book was the authors craft. She did well on using different perspectives with different chapters. One example of that is she has a chapter on Willow's perspectives like her thoughts, how she's feeling, and many more. But then, she has another chapter that talks in third person so then you can understand more on what most of the characters are feeling, and maybe what they would do. Although sometimes, it does have other character's feeling about Willow.

Another thing that I really liked was she has a balance of DAT. Meaning description, action, and thinking. This helps the reader to understand what's really going on in the story as if you were Willow because there's a complicated situation with family issues and you can just feel what Willow is feeling, thinking, and seeing in her life.

In conclusion, I think this book would be good for people that likes touching stories, or family problems, and for those that likes Holly Goldberg Sloan.

Rating: 4/5 stars

Rain Reign

Everybody or any living thing probably has problems with their families, friends, and more at least once in their whole entire life. And that’s okay because we learn from them. Even though we feel like punching them sometimes, we actually want to hug them again and wished nothing had happen. Because that was what Rose wanted with her father. In the book, Rain Reign, by Ann M. Martin, Rose Howard is underestimating her trust with her father throughout the book but deep deep down, Rose loves her father no matter what.

In Rain Reign, Rose doesn’t really have friends except her dog because everyone finds her weird for loving homophones. Even  But that’s not the big problem. Everyday, Rain comes to Rose after school and gives her a lick like saying, “Welcome back! I’m so glad you’re back!” But today, she didn’t give Rose a lick. She’s gone. Throughout this book, Rose and her father has trouble getting back together as Rose still thinks he’s trying to do something. One example from the book is:

“Why didn’t you wake me up when you let Rain outside during the storm?”

“For Pete’s sake, Rose, haven’t we been over that already?”

“But why didn’t you?”

“I will answer that question one more time and then I don’t want to hear about it again. I didn’t wake you up because Rain has been outside plenty of times by herself and she always comes back. I didn’t think it was necessary. Besides, the storm was over.”

“Why didn’t you put on her collar on before she went out?”

“Rose! Enough!” ~ From the story Rain Reign by Ann M. Martin. pg. 110

This is important because it shows that Rose’s father trying to get away from something because he doesn’t want to admit why he let Rain out without telling Rose.

Along the way, Rose starts thinking up ways of how to get back Rain with her uncle, uncle Wildon. But at the same time, her father doesn’t help her find Rain, which also makes Rose wonder about her father hiding something. But afterwards, Rain was safely found at the animal pet shelter.

I think the Rose treats everyone fair even though people bully her a lot. And some examples to prove this is in the book when her dad lost Rain but didn’t exactly want to approve it, she yelled at him and got mad at him. Even though this doesn’t look fair, but Rose probably wants her dad to know that it’s okay to make mistakes as long as you admit it. And deep, deep down her heart, she probably loves her dad no matter what.

Sending and receiving

I think I did well on remembering to put my hands on the target and sort of tilting when throwing. But I think I could have improved on raising my hands higher and reaching my legs out to put more force into throwing. And I noticed from the beginning to now, I can throw higher balls with higher targets (with more power in it.) And I applied this into Tchoukball by receiving (and absorbing after you catch the ball.) Also throwing with higher targets.
