Did you read Counting by 7s? Did you love it? Because Holly Goldberg Sloan has written a new book and it's so good! It's all about Julia, who 'is very short for her age, but don't worry, by the end of the summer production of Wizard of Oz, she'll realize how big she is inside, where it counts.' This book is funny, it's touching, and it is just all the good things. Read it!

We here at The Hickory Stick Bookshop believe that girls can do anything, and this book is proof of that.
Girl Rising is a global campaign for girls' education. It inspired a film and now this book and if you have a daughter, this is required reading. Because she can do anything and everything.
