Rachel Hruza

Author

This historical novel set in 1943 features brave and curious Annabelle who lives in Wolf Hollow, Pennsylvania. She and her family befriend a man living as a hermit since WWI, and the reader sees how empathy can change a person’s perspective. While featuring issues of bullying, lying, and trust, the vivid imagery from Wolk’s words bring out the beauty in even the ugliest events. The descriptions of farmland, woods, and walks home from school, make readers feel as if a time that has passed is as real as the world outside their front door.

From Rachel's list on female protagonists curious about the world.

Lies and secrets, courage and compassion in this masterfully written Newbery Honor book about a bully in a small town and a girl who stands up for justice and kindness. I use this book with young writers to show them how every word counts in a story. You’ll want to read everything this author has written and then read the books again.

From Anne's list on brave girls.
