Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan

1. This is the best book I've read in a long, long time.
2. This book should have been marketed as YA.
3. I hope this becomes a crossover book because I am certain teens and adults will love it.
4. Too mature for Newbery (but certainly worthy). *ducks behind umbrella to fend off rotten tomatoes hurled my way* (see note below)
5. Brilliant writing. 
6. You should read it.
7. You should read it.
 

Note: I don't think the subject matter is too mature for Newbery. I think the overall tone and the writing are too mature. Just my opinion.
