A review by amberhayward
The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson

2.0

I had to read this for a project for school. Swearing drove me NUTS when I was a kid and this has all kinds of HELLS and DAMNS in it. In our presentation to the class, I had to play the part of the fat foster mom which I was not really into. Also, Gilly is totally annoying and 9-year-olds don't care about eventual redemption. I didn't dig this book too much but it's probably good for normal 4th graders.
