kristenremenar 's review for:
Wolf Hollow
by Lauren Wolk
The pull and push of safety and vulnerability were so wonderful. There's the farm with cows and orchards, peeling potatoes for the family's dinner, walking to the one-room schoolhouse with two little brothers scampering ahead. But there's also Betty, an odd girl who bullies Annabelle and threatens to hurt her brothers (and makes good on that promise) if Annabelle tells. Annabelle is eleven years old, that in-between age, and readers that age know that safety isn't guaranteed.
It has much less violence and outright ugliness than "To Kill a Mockingbird" does, but they'd be good to compare, and this book can be read by kids not ready for the other.
