Pictures of Hollis Woods; by, Patricia Reilly Giff: This was a very well written and good story. It showed the importance of family and the wanting for a place to belong in a twelve year old girl. It shows how not having a family can affect some kid's life. It shows how important having a family is, having a place where you belong, and that having a family is a wonderful thing.
Summary of the Story: 12 year old Hollis Woods is an orphan. And she has been to so many foster homes she can't even name them all. Hollis is a mountain of trouble, she runs away from the foster homes, and then, finally when Hollis has finally found a family that wants to adopt her, she runs away from them too. But when Hollis gets sent to live with Josie, an elderly artist, Hollis wants to stay. But Josie gets more and more forgetful everyday. If the agency finds out Hollis won't be able to live with Josie anymore. Even as Hollis plans a future for Josie and her, she still dreams about the one family wanting to give her a home.
I would have to give this story 5 out of 5 stars.
