A review by jwinchell
My Own Lightning by Lauren Wolk

4.0

I loved Wolf Hollow and I think Lauren Wolk is a very talented writer. She is able to get at the human condition through the eyes of a middle grade child in rural Pennsylvania during WWII. This historical part of this novel is lite--it's really just the farming way of life that sets it back in time. Annabelle learns a lot about herself and others after she is struck by lightning. The menacing Andy from Wolf Hollow is back and there are new mysterious neighbors who take care of dogs. A charming novel.
