Description

Just when Hollis was placed in a foster home she didn't want to run away from, as she had with all the others, she begins to notice that the woman she is living with is losing her memory. Her foster mom, Josie, is an artist and creative, relating more to Hollis than any previous home had. Now that Josie's mental stability is slipping, Hollis fears she will be sent to another family, and that Josie will also be sent to a home. Hollis has been on the run for most of her life. How hard would it be to run away from the system of foster homes with an elderly woman at her side? This young girl might be desperate enough to try and find out the answer to this question. 166 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna

Publisher's Description of Pictures of Hollis Woods
  • Hollis Woods
  • is the place where a baby was abandoned
  • is the baby's name
  • is an artist
  • is now a twelve-year-old girl
  • who's been in so many foster homes she can hardly remember them all.

    • When Hollis is sent to Josie, an elderly artist who is quirky and affectionate, she wants to stay. But Josie is growing more forgetful every day. If Social Services finds out, they'll take Hollis away and move Josie into a home. Well, Hollis Woods won't let anyone separate them. She's escaped the system before; this time, she's taking Josie with her. Still, even as she plans her future with Josie, Hollis dreams of the past summer with the Regans, fixing each special moment of her days with them in pictures she'll never forget.

    Patricia Reilly Giff captures the yearning for a place to belong in this warmhearted story, which stresses the importance of artistic vision, creativity, and above all, family.
