“This exquisite debut confronts injustice and doesn’t flinch.” —People

“[A] powerful debut . . . beautifully written.” —The Wall Street Journal

Wrenching and true. . . . comparisons to Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird will abound. But Wolk gives us her own story—one full of grace and stark, brutal beauty.” —The New York Times Book Review

“When reviewers draw a parallel between Mockingbird and Lauren Wolk’s Wolf Hollow, They’re being neither hyperbolic, nor lazy. They’re merely doing justice to Wolk’s beautiful story.” — NPR, Best Books of 2016

Growing up in the shadows cast by two world wars, Annabelle has lived a mostly quiet, steady life in her small Pennsylvania town. Until the day new student Betty Glengarry walks into her class. Betty quickly reveals herself to be cruel and manipulative, and Even as her bullying seems isolated to start with, things quickly escalate, and reclusive World War I veteran Toby becomes a target of her attacks. Even as others have all the time seen Toby’s strangeness, Annabelle knows only kindness. She will soon want to find the courage to stand as a lone voice of justice as tensions mount.

Brilliantly crafted, Wolf Hollow is a haunting tale of The united states at a crossroads and a time when one girl’s resilience, strength, and compassion lend a hand to remove darkness from the darkest corners of our history.

“The honesty of Wolf Hollow will almost about shred your heart, but Annabelle’s courage and compassion will restore it to you, fuller than before. This book matters.” —Sara Pennypacker, New York Times bestselling writer of Pax

“An evocative setting, memorable characters, a searing story: Wolf Hollow has stayed with me long after I closed the book. It has the feel of an instant classic.” —Linda Sue Park, Newbery Medalist and New York Times bestselling writer
