Counting by 7s is a great little Young Adult fiction book about a genius kid (she's 12 years-old) who's life changes when her counselor brings her home one day from school. I loved the book and my 9 year old also loved it. Issues to discuss with a child who reads it might include: adoption, kids who are different, sacrifice, community responsibility, labeling kids. If you are an adult, you may find it a bit unbelievable at times, but that's not the point. It's not a book about the process of adoption or foster care system. It's a book about an endearing little girl who is not like her peers and how she changes the lives of those around her.
So, adults - read it. And if you have kids who like to read, have them read it too.
