The first book, Counting By 7s takes place in Bakersfield, California, and is about twelve year old Willow Chance who enjoys gardening, diagnosing medical conditions and the number seven. The story is about her journey through life after her parents died in a tragic car accident. Prior to the car accident Willow has to see Dell Duke, a student counselor, after being accused to cheater on a test because of her perfect score.

The only thing the boys can remember are there names, due to there memories being whipped. even though Thomas has never been to this place it feels very familiar to him. The Glade is surrounded by a maze full with creatures called Grievers and Beetle Blades, The boys say there are spy for the creators, the ones who sent them to this place. After Newt gave him a tour and explained that everyday the “Runners” go out into the maze looking for the way out, Thomas knew that what he needed to do so he was trained by Minho. One day a girl named Teresa was sent there, Thomas had some type of connect with her. after she arrived weird things started happening, and the “end” was coming so they worked together along with the other Gladers to find the code and escape the maze due to his memories returning after the changing.

    The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordan Book Report

Her mother and Pete are constantly arguing since her parents divorced and their mother moved them away from their father and friends. Trisha hangs back on the trail, sick of listening to them, and wanders off down another trail to pee. She can still her them arguing from where she is, and so decides to take a shortcut to them through the trees. She then falls down a slope and becomes disoriented, but thinks she still knows the way. Until it becomes apparent that she doesn’t. What follows is Trisha’s battle for survival, as a town girl lost in an unfamiliar environment. Luckily she is smart, and she makes what little food and water she has last. She decides to follow a creek, believing that water will lead her to people. Unfortunately this takes her further and further from civilization, and the rescuers who believe a girl her age could not have walked very far. She spends her nights huddled up under her waterproof poncho, listening to the radio on her walkman. Sometimes she hears news of her own disappearance and how a lot of people are looking for her, but mostly she listens to Red Sox games. Her favorite player is Tom Gordon, and she wears his baseball cap with signature across the rim. She thinks she will be found soon, but as the days wear on Trisha begins to lose hope. She has to look for food, thankfully listening to her mother’s advice on which berries she could eat, but growing weaker and sicker as the creek water upsets her stomach and the endless walking takes its toll. With fear, Trisha feels something watching her in the trees. At first she tells herself it’s just her imagination, and not to be afraid. But later, as she weakens, she starts to hallucinate, picturing Tom Gordon walking with her as a guide, and other, more…
