Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff**

An amazing story of wanting to belong and accepting when you find out you do belong.
This is a book I want to own!
Amazing writing and great character development.  I looked forward to every chance to read this novel.
**Highly, highly recommend.
There is a movie available based on this book.
Points to discuss/warning: abandonment, foster care/adoption, one time Hollis told a social worker that she drew "nudies" to be rude/cause a reaction (she does not draw nude people)

Newbery Honor Book
