What Willow Knew by June Colbert Pdf

Sarah Jane ‘Lucky’ Carter is a big-boned, smart-mouthed sixteen-year-old. Willow Moonstone, Sarah’s legal guardian for the past five years, has vanished without a trace. The police believe she’s been murdered. Willow always said They were after her because of What She Knew. Sarah and her friends thought it was all some paranoid fantasy left over from the 60s. Except that Willow’s missing now. That’s no fantasy. Sarah’s estranged father comes to take her home to live with his new family but she has no interest whatsoever in playing ‘Brady Bunch’. All she wants is to get Willow back so they can go home. Then, out of the blue, a fierce stranger from Willow’s past turns up on Sarah’s doorstep bearing Willow’s diary from her radical student days in the late 1960s. Sarah becomes convinced the diary holds the clues to Willow’s disappearance, so she immerses herself in her aunt’s diary and her life. As the weeks pass with no news of Willow, Sarah begins to panic. Time’s running out and Willow’s trail is growing cold. Is she the only one who can’t accept the truth? Is Willow really dead? WHAT WILLOW KNEW by June Colbert is the suspenseful story of a teenage girl’s search for her missing aunt, but it’s also the story of Willow’s own journey from naïve university student to radical activist and complete paranoid ... Unless They were really after her, of course.

Shy Willow by Cat Min Pdf

Willow is shy. VERY shy. Her home is in an abandoned mailbox, and she'd rather stay put. Outside kids scream and soccer balls collide, trees look like monsters, and rain is noisy in a scary kind of way. It's much nicer to stay inside, drawing. But then a young boy drops a letter in Willow's mailbox: it's a note to the moon asking for a special favor. Willow knows that if she doesn't brave the world outside, the letter will never be delivered, and the boy will be heartbroken. Should she try? Can she? Cat Min delivers a breathtakingly illustrated story about shyness, the power of empathy, and what it means to make a friend.

Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan Pdf

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. “Holly Goldberg Sloan writes about belonging in a way I’ve never quite seen in any other book. This is a gorgeous, funny, and heartwarming novel that I’ll never forget.”—John Corey Whaley, author of Where Things Come Back "Willow Chance subtly drew me into her head and her life, so much so that I was holding my breath for her by the end. Holly Goldberg Sloan has created distinct characters who will stay with you long after you finish the book."—Sharon Creech, Newbery Award-winning author of Walk Two Moons "In achingly beautiful prose, Holly Goldberg Sloan has written a delightful tale of transformation that’s a celebration of life in all its wondrous, hilarious and confounding glory. Counting by 7s is a triumph."—Maria Semple, author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette
