Pictures of Hollis Woods

by Patricia Reilly Giff
Carver County Library audioCDs
genre: YA coming-of-age

This is a re-read to prepare for sixth grade book club. Wonderful story. Hollis Woods has bounced from foster home to foster home, running away when she's had enough. Then she's placed with the Regan family for the summer and she has found a true home. Until she goes up the mountain and Steven comes for her . . . Told in flashback form after she is placed with the elderly Josie, Hollis Woods is the work of an artist! Beautiful. Made me cry. I love the Regan family.
