About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the deep waters of grief, feeling profoundly isolated by their own unique way of thinking, or struggling to find where they fit in the world. Willow Chance is a twelve year old genius who finds comfort in the number seven and the natural world, but her life is upended when her adoptive parents die in a car accident. This story follows her journey as she rebuilds a sense of self and community through a cast of unlikely, beautiful companions. It is a poignant, sophisticated read for middle schoolers that explores the heavy weight of loss while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. Parents will appreciate how it validates neurodivergence and proves that family is something we can create, even after the unthinkable happens.
