12 year-old Willow Chance is a genius. Her whole life is about to change. In a tragic accident that leaves the adopted girl an orphan, she has nowhere to put down permanent roots. This is difficult for a girl obsessed with gardening and medical conditions. She connects to a Vietnamese girl in her school whose family takes her in. She changes everyone she meets, from the taxi driver to Dell Duke, the school counselor who cannot seem to be able to put Willow Chance in one of his convenient categories. She hasn’t given up. She’s given in to what her future must be. And lucky for her, a lot of people recognize her unique qualities. Recommended
