★ "Creating mystery and suspense in an unusual setting, Newbery Honor-winner Wolk spins an intriguing tale of an orphan determined to find her roots, set in the 1920s.... Crow is a determined and dynamic heroine with a strong intuition, who pieces together the puzzle of her past while making profound realizations about the definition of family." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review ★ "Every chapter in the book has a new mystery to be solved: why was Crow sent away in an old boat when she was a baby? Why is a fire burning on an abandoned island? Did Capt. Kidd really hide treasure nearby'... The mysteries--and the words that describe them--are compelling enough to send readers to the islands for years to come. A beautiful, evocative sophomore effort from Newbery honoree Wolk." -- Kirkus , starred review Praise for Lauren Wolk's Newbery Honor-winning debut, Wolf Hollow : "The honesty of Wolf Hollow will just about shred your heart, but Annabelle's courage and compassion will restore it to you, fuller than before.

It has the feel of an instant classic ." --Linda Sue Park, Newbery Medalist and New York Times bestselling author "Wrenching and true. . . . comparisons to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird will abound . But Wolk gives us her own story--one full of grace and stark, brutal beauty ." -- The New York Times Book Review "This exquisite debut confronts injustice and doesn't flinch ." -- People " [A] powerful debut . . . beautifully written." -- The Wall Street Journal ★ "Trusting its readers implicitly with its moral complexity, Wolk's novel stuns ." -- Kirkus , starred review ★ "The narrative is powerful, complex, and lifelike . . . a truly moving debut." -- School Library Journal , starred review ★ "Wolk movingly expresses Annabelle's loss of innocence through the honest, clear voice of her protagonist." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review ★ "Perfectly pitched to be used in classrooms in conjunction with To Kill a Mockingbird ." -- Booklist , starred review ★ "The tension builds and never lets up." -- The Horn Book , starred review, Praise for Lauren Wolk's 5-star debut, Wolf Hollow : "The honesty of Wolf Hollow will just about shred your heart, but Annabelle's courage and compassion will restore it to you, fuller than before.
