Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk
5.0
Set in middle America, 1943, Annabelle’s life is changed by the arrival of Betty Glengarry, who immediately sets about bullying her.
A chain of events are set into motion, involving injury to Annabelle’s friends, family and even animals, and when Betty goes missing, the blame is pinned firmly in Toby, the town’s outsider, a man ravaged by the memories of war.
What follows is a coming-of-age tale in which Annabelle has to choose when to lie for good, when to keep secrets and learns who to trust. It is language-rich and I particularly loved Annabelle’s family - her parents are firmly on Annabelle’s side, and Aunt Lily gets what she deserves.
A must-read.
