The Great Gilly Hopkins 1979 Honor Book *****


Gilly Hopkins is a foster child bounced from home to home hoping that one day she'll live with her mother again.

I read this book as a girl over and over so many times I had it memorized. I loved Gilly Hopkins and ached with her as she tried to reconnect with her mother. This is a very important book for children to read to help them see that other kids at school may not be as they appear.
