A Newbery Honor Book
New York Times Bestseller

Despite growing up in the shadows cast by two world wars, Annabelle has lived a mostly quiet, steady life in her small Pennsylvania town. Until the day new student Betty Glengarry walks into her class. Betty quickly reveals herself to be cruel and manipulative, and though her bullying seems isolated at first, it quickly escalates. Toby, a reclusive World War I veteran, soon becomes the target of Betty's attacks. While others see Toby's strangeness, Annabelle knows only kindness. And as tensions mount in their small community, Annabelle must find the courage to stand as a lone voice for justice.
The brilliantly crafted debut of Newbery Honor- and Scott O'Dell Award-winning author Lauren Wolk (Beyond the Bright Sea, Echo Mountain), Wolf Hollow is a haunting tale of America at a crossroads and a time when one girl's resilience, strength, and compassion help to illuminate the darkest corners of history.

Wolf Hollow really inspired me to read a lot more and now I read every day! Lauren Wolk has inspired me to write my own stories and hopefully loads of other people! The message is really important to me and should be to everyone else and it really got me thinking about it.

I didn't think I could find any books for me and now I've read all the Lauren Wolk books and I'm now passing them onto my Grandma who's enjoying them as much as I did! It's a fascinating book and about a girl who grows up on a farm and you can really picture how she feels.... Read Full Review
