The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherin Paterson

Newbery Honor

This book is about a girl named Gilly Hopkins. Her mom left her when she was little and now she lives in foster homes. She usually doesn't like her foster homes so she just waits for her mom hoping someday she'll come back. Now she's at a new foster home and she's getting attached to the people who live there. At the end her gradmother comes and takes her. Gilly does not want to leave but she is forced to.

I think it got this title because Gilly is so great at switching foster homes.

3 stars
