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 while her bullying seems isolated at first, things quickly escalate, and reclusive World War I veteran Toby becomes a target of her attacks. While others have always seen Toby's strangeness, Annabelle knows only kindness. Soon, she will need to find the courage to stand as a lone voice of justice as tensions mount.
Brilliantly crafted, Wolf Hollow is a haunting tale of America at a crossroads and a time when one girl's resilience and strength help to illuminate the darkest corners of our history.

Wolf Hollow
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
I found myself depressed and frustrated throughout the story, and I didn’t find a powerful redeeming theme. I know that we are supposed to be cheering for Annabelle because she is so brave and strong, but I find myself wanting to take her into my arms, to hug her, and then promptly ground her until she learns to be more honest and trustworthy. While the villains in the story are true villains, Annabelle in her immaturity, makes things more complicated than necessary and ultimately deadly.
