Counting By 7s
By Holly Goldberg Sloan
COUNTING BY 7S follows an unlikely team of oddballs in Bakersfield CA, who come together around young Willow Chance - a remarkably intelligent and socially awkward 11 year old - when her parents die in a car accident. The path this idiosyncratic group of misfits takes to keep Willow out of foster care is heroic, funny, and ultimately life-changing, as each of them confronts their own limitations, and Willow becomes the architect of a unique new family.
Starring Josh Gad. Cesar Vitali is adapting the novel. Partnered with producer Leslie Urdang.
“This lovely, wise tale is not just about loss but about survival, connection and kindness, and its narrative style underscores the theme of community.”
