A review by couillac
Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk

4.0

Deceptively complex, this is one of my favorite reads of the year. The questions that Wolk tackles - of justice, right vs. wrong, prejudices - are given appropriate weight and no easy answers. The adults and the children in this story are equally involved in figuring out where they stand. While the plot is straightforward and, in many ways, familiar, the book feels both fresh and classic at the same time. This is one that is ageless, and I hope will continue to spur discussions for many years to come. Exceptional, thought-provoking, yet accessible to its child audience and entirely in-tune with childhood questions and struggles.
