  • 本書介紹
Willow Chance是一位十二歲的天才，七歲之前擁有幸福的生活，因為父母車禍身故，世界有了悲慘的變化。作者並無意訴說一個傷心的故事。而是著重充滿個性和奇想的女孩的在代理家庭的中，透過相處互信，及自己的力量克服悲傷，開啟新生活。

A New York Times Bestseller

In the tradition of Out of My Mind, Wonder, and Mockingbird, this is an intensely moving middle grade novel about being an outsider, coping with loss, and discovering the true meaning of family.

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.
