The Great Gilly Hopkins
Paterson Katherine
Watch out world!
The
Great Gilly Hopkins is looking for a home. She's a foster kid who's been
angry, lonely, and hurting for so long that's she's always ready for a
fight. Be on the lookout for her best barracuda smile, the one she saves
for well-meaning social workers. Watch out for her most fearful look, a
cross between Dracula and Godzilla, used especially to scare shy foster
brothers. Don't be fooled by her "Who me?" expression, guaranteed to
trick foster parents, teachers, and anyone who gets in her way.
It's
Gilly Hopkins vs. the world! And so far, Gilly seems to be winning. But
what she doesn't realize is that every time she wins, she really loses,
until she discovers a love as formidable as any enemy she's ever known.
