I'd say that willow chance is a person of many traits and she is smart because she can analyze various things and being 5 and saying all those things!? She is also a very good gardener because she likes to plant things and she calls her garden a "sanctuary" personally my "sanctuary" is my basement. And she is very shy and doesn't have many friends.

I like how you said " a person of many traits " and gave your personal view but maybe take out your question mark.

I think willow is a very smart and talented character. As we learned in the first chapter she speaks I think it was, five different languages by the age of twelve.Willow is very interested in gardening and knows about all types of plants. Including the corpse plant that is stinky. Willow has a huge vocabulary. She uses very big words. I think Willow will reveal many more fascinating facts bout herself in future chapters.

Willow Chance is a reallly intelligent person I wish I was smart like her. Willow is really into plants and the number 7 she is really smart and she likes finding new diseases. She is always sure of what she says for example when she said she was going to wear her gardening uniform she was sure and she wore it. She is sensative because when she was at school this girl said "theres a stall thats out of order and its totally disgusting" she felt sad and went home but she didn't cry. Thats what I think Willows personality is like.

Willow Chance is an amazing character. She drew me in with the fact that she doesn't really know her real family, and how she talks about her past. She is a genius. Literally. I have no idea what some of the words she says mean! She also loves to garden. In Counting By 7's, she tells about how her garden is her sanctuary, and talks about all the different plants in it. I love Willow's passion for doing the things she loves.

I think that Willow is a smart girl because she is using smart words and she is interested in so many thing like desies that make people skin do something and when she was 5 she was wondering how dirty the flord and and how many germs there are. I think Willow is a smart girl

Willow is very advanced for her age. A very smart girl who knows a lot ! I love her choice of words she uses and the way she describes herself.

Willow Chance is a very unique girl with a very different way of thinking. When she was only 5 years old she was a genius! Instead of listening to stories and taking naps, she thought of how the silly stories were nonsensical lies, and how dirty the floor was! Tending to her garden is her favourite thing and her "sanctuary". She grew so many different plants! Can you believe that parrots came to her garden! Gardening was like a friend to her, since she didn't have any good friends. Even though she did have a friend just like her, they grew apart as her friend had different interests. Being a genius was not always easy, as she was always thinking, and people started to call her names, or just ignore her. It is awesome though, how she uses fancy words and knows about a ton of diseases! I think that the rest of Counting By 7s will be great!

Willow Chance is really unique and she is very smart. Willow loves plants not just one plant but every single one she even has backyard filled with flowers. she dose not have a friend but I bet she will a have a bunch of friends at the end. I wish I could be smart like her. I bet even the flowers that are dying she will still take them. :)

I think willow Is really intelligent because she knows so many words that kids would learn in later grades such as 6-7 as well as high school. something that made me more interested about the book is she doesn't know who her family is and she talks about them a lot. I also learned how much she loves plants and learning about diseases.

Willow Chance is a very unique girl because instead of thinking like the rest of the people thought around her she thought differently. When she was younger instead of doing what the rest of the kids did for instance taking naps listening to stories etc. She would make up stories and about how dirty the floor was and she was always into plants and gardening with her best friend. since she didn't have any close friends. And she wants to study a bunch of diseases. I like counting by 7's because it shows you how Willow is very unique and the book shows you that you don't have to be like everybody else because that's what makes you who you are.

Willow is a smart girl who can't make many friends she always wants to learn new things and maby she'll be a doctor one day because she loves to study illnesses. Maby one day she will discover the cure for cancer. It sounds like she has a bright fucture.

So far I have enjoyed the story and I think that Willow is an interesting character so far. Firstly one of Willow's traits is that she likes to study medical issues and problems. Secondly she likes to garden in her backyard which is where her sanctuary is and where she fells safe. Thirdly Willow likes to use the number seven for almost ever thing she does when counting number and groups. In conclusion the story is a really interesting story.

I have read counting by 7s before and I know that Willow is definitely a genius. First of all I think the I'm bad at math especially with the number 7, but of course that's Willows favorite number. Willow pretty much knows everything even when you first meet her you would think she some crazy smart person but if you keep reading she's actually a normal person. The second thing about Willow is that she is very shy. So she doesn't have many friends. Everyone probably doesn't like her because they think she's weird. Then the last thing is that she is very artistic. She likes colors, plants, and tropical birds. I don't want to give any spoilers but if you kept reading you would agree with me.

Willow Chance, is a very unique person. She enjoys learning plants and medical conditions and is very observant she likes to observe others and refer to medical conditions they may have .Oddly her favorite number is 7 at times when she isn't feeling well she counts by 7. She enjoys gardening and learning about new plants. At the age of 5 she was very advances in what she knows and she is very smart and ahead of her grade, therefore she can sometimes find school boring and I am sure we can all relate to that every now and then. She knows how to speak 5 languages at the age of 12 which personally, I think that is pretty remarkable. Overall, Willow is a very unique and strange person that not much of us know someone like her if we do at all.

Willow chance is a very unique and special girl. I am really enjoying this book because to me, it tells you to not be afraid to be who you want to be. To explain, Willow is not afraid to be herself but some people are so it gives out a good message. To start, Willow chance is a really intelligent girl. For instance, she knows a lot of different languages and she has learned them by the age 12. Another thing is, when every she talks she uses this amazing words that I don't know and a lot of people don't know to. Secondly, one of here hobbies is her garden. She loves it so much. In her own words she call it her sanctuary. She has all these different types of flowers that I have never heard off and it sounds very cool. Thirdly, she loves the number 7! For example, when she got upset she skipped counted by 7's all the up in the 500's. To end off, these are my thoughts on Willow Chance. I am loving this book so far and I hope other people are to!

Willow Chance is a very smart person at only 12 years old. Willows favourite hobby is herbology. For some reason her favourite number is the number 7. she has a strange hobby for diseases and stalking people with diseases. She almost NEVER cries. Those are a few things I know about Willow.

Rainbow Unicorn

9/29/2015 08:19:30 pm

I think that Willow is a cautious girl due to her on guard personality. I believe that it is very hard for her to amke friends due to the fact that she said once, "The plants can't talk back." Meaning that she is lonely and does not have anyone to talk to. Her hobbies about observing people are... Unique. I'd say that she is neglected by many people around her. Due to my facts.

I think Willow is really smart for her age. She is good at gardening because she calls her garden her sanctuary. I think that she feels she has to hide the fact that she is so intelligent because other people will think of her weirdly. She wanted to get a medical issue so she could observe the people in the hospital... I think she wants friends because she said "Plants can't talk back". I think she said this because plants are all she has and those aren't even proper friends.
