I think Someone to Count On is a very good book about a girl whose parents got a divorce. Sam needed someone to count on and when she meets her grandpa she finds that someone. This book is written by one of the best authors of all time in my opinion. Hermes has also written Be Still My Heart, Friends Are Like That and Heads I Win. Hermes does a wonderful job portraying Sam's life; the way she does that is in how she describes her feelings. I recommend this book to everyone that's looking for someone to count on.
