Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff


Hollis Woods is an orphan who has been shuffled from home to home. She wants to belong to a family but when an obstacle arises she runs away. Then Hollis is sent to stay with Josie, an elderly artist whose odd ways reach Hollis' heart.
I really liked the story, but it can be rather confusing because two stories of Hollis' life are being told at the same time. I think it is a good read.
