Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff

3.0

What's not to love about a story where a twelve year old girl, who is clearly a tenderhearted softy, spends much of the time trying to convince the reader that she is tough? Hollis is reactive to the many wounds inflicted onto her by others and in her reactivity inflicts the largest wound onto herself. This story of perseverance, healing, forgiveness and above all vulnerability is as tenderhearted as the main character.
