The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson

4.0

Gilly Hopkins walks that fine line between having a soft interior covered by a tough exterior perfectly. That exterior can be harsh and unpleasant at times, but as long as that soft side shines through, we can forgive it most of the time. Sometimes authors don't let us see enough of the soft side and their characters just come off as brats, but Paterson does a great job of making Gilly likable.
