Wolf Hollow
by Lauren Wolk
The characters in this novel are real & authentic. Love, love, love the character development. Annabelle's voice is strong & her kind and curious nature leads you into the heart of the story. I found the beginning of the book enthralling and I was unable to put the book down. However, as the story began to shift and move toward resolution I felt like the target audience was being missed. I am not sure middle grade readers will stick out the change of pace & tone.
I also felt like this story had some borderline YA moments. I particularly felt like Andy & Betty's running off into the woods could lead to some student questions as well as Annabelle's relationship with Toby. There are also a few intense scenes that I'm not sure all middle grade students can handle. For these reasons I'm giving Wolf Hollow 4 stars.
