Wolf Hollow

Author: Lauren Wolk
Publisher: Corgi

This beautifully written novel is set in the 1940s in rural America. The story is seen through the eyes of Annabelle who is bullied by the manipulative Betty who has recently arrived to live in what, on the surface, is a close-knit community. Annabelle’s bewilderment at Betty’s behaviour is apparent. Her acceptance of and loyalty to Toby, a man who lives on the fringe of local society, is called into question and she has to assert a considerable amount of moral courage as she deals with small town mentality and much more.

A sequel published in 2022: My Own Lightning (9780241424216), Corgi £7.99
